I never said christians were inferior, so I do not benefit from this doubt. Of course christians are no better or worse than anyone else. My point is specifically in objection to the Hannity and Colmes attitude that this woman is a nutjob when both of them are nutjobs too.
I love how Colmes is like, "well, I worship the god of abraham and isaac so bitch let's not be steppin'!" It's like listening to DND players argue over level 9 railguns or something.
And Hannity's all, "you're an embarassment to this country!" as though Sean Hannity is not himself an embarassment to this country.
I do not think christians are inferior, for there is no reason to think myself as superior. Christians are just like everyone else, and beleive a load of bullshit just like everyone else, for we all believe bullshit, myself included. Can't tell you what that bullshit is, because I haven't yet recognized it as bullshit. It's called learning, and it's all you can do until you either a) die or b) buy into a religious doctrine that explains everything to you with magic.
So obviously if you are not a fundamentalist that does not refer to you. But it does mean you are vastly outnumbered.
-------------------- No; truth, being alive, was not halfway between anything. It was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to insure sterility. Only connect...

My concern was just to make sure there were no issues of superiority/inferiority delusions.
As long as we can agree we're both equals as humans, then I'm content. I'm dog tired anyhow, I've been up for a LONG time

They're actually working on making that illegal, in several states it is illegal to protest within a certain distance of a funeral. It's going to go to court at some point, but it should be upheld.
Also there is a bunch a bikers that go to the same funerals the crazies go to and shield the families from these assholes. They chant patriotic stuff and drown out the nutjob speeches.

Protesting at a funeral is just plain low. I don't care how much I hated someone or something they stand for...all beef ends at death. death=ultimate equalizer

I hate the idea of protests at funerals, but I'm a firm believer in the 1st ammendment, and to me it's an all or nothing thing (with the exception of the whole "yell fire at crowded theater thing").
Graveyards are private property, aren't they? Couldn't they stick these people with trespassing or something instead?

quillini said: Oh please, you all are fooling yourselves if you think this lady is all that "extreme". She's only a couple notches crazier than most Christians; where I live they are all like that.
It's really sad that Christians think its OK to bash everyone who doesn't share their goofy-ass faith, but when Christians start bashing other Christians, especially in opposition to our Noble Crusade in Iraq, all of a sudden its a big ole deal.
BTW, all her arguments are biblically justified. So if a Christian is offended by these people, maybe they should reconsider putting all their faith in a 3,000 year old book.
This is a good point
