Liberal secular hate???
by Coelacanth

I don't hate Christians. Not at all. An accusation like that is totally unfair. Where do they come up with it? What are they afraid of?

I mean, I certainly don't want to be a friend with any Christians, and there's no way I would let one into my house. Nor would I allow my kids to hang around with Christians, or their children, or anybody who might have shaken hands with a Christian at anytime in the past or said anything nice about them or their stupid beliefs. And I don't see why people should have to hire Christians, or sell or rent houses to them. Why should Christians get special treatment such that the rest of us have to support them in their nauseating Jesus-loving ways? But hey, that doesn't mean I hate Christians or anything. It's just a matter of defending my own values and exercising my free speech, according to the Constitution. Are you trying to take away my Constitutional rights?

But anyway, what I'm talking about isn't the same as hate. As far as I'm concerned, those stupid perverted Christians are free to believe and worship as they please. I just wish they would do it in the privacy of their own homes where other people don't have to see it. Why do these Christians insist on flaunting their disgusting faith in public? It even shows up on TV, and these people with their Christian agendas insist on talking about it to other people all the time, like it's normal or something. Even to children--they're trying to teach "religious tolerance" in the schools, regardless of what I think about it or what I teach my kids. Is that right, I ask you? Give me a break. Why should I have this Christianity thrust in my face all the time? And if you ever try to challenge them on it, all you get is some smirk or whine about "freedom of religion," like that means it's okay for them to parade around their beliefs in front of everybody. Why am I forced to look at that? It makes me want to puke. Where are MY rights, I'd like to know?

Anyway, I'm sure you can see there's no hate in me, not even toward Christians, who it's really understandable people would hate a lot if we weren't such a swell bunch of loving benevolent people. And if you can see any animosity or personal hostility toward Christians in anything I've written here, it just shows YOU're the one who's really got hate in his heart, because I'm just a guy trying to live his decent atheist secular life in the midst of a wicked hateful Christian world that won't leave poor persecuted me alone.

I hope that explains things sufficiently. Thanks for your understanding.
