      Nice.  What a class act.  Of course no christian (or jew)  even blew up the house of an innocent muslim... say in Afganistan or Iraq or Gaza, for example.  What a jackass. 

      The media (and increasing America at large) is becoming increasing hostile to religion because of this holier-than-thou, we-can-do-no-wrong attitude that the most vocal proponents of religion in general and christianity in particular have adopted.

      Maybe 'religion' (and that increasingly has come to mean evangelical christian funny-mentalists) ought to try embracing one of Christ's more often overlooked virtues: HUMILITY.

      Yeah, because criticizing Islam has been verboten on FoxNews right? OK, maybe not. I mean, Fox has personalities on their station talking about interring Muslims in the US (Malkin, Beck). And I hear from right wing blatherers all of the time how Islam is some sort of ultra violent religion (it's not), and Islamofascists (that word doesn't even make sense).

      And this is why I no longer prescribe to any one religion, or, well, religion at all. The more I hear about any religion, the more I turn towards Atheism, or maybe the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

      This one is easy:

      In BillO's world, being "religious" naturally means "being Christiany".

      Remember, Fox News chatterers believe that Islam is a false religion heck-bent on destroying Christianity.

      The reason why Christians are mainly the target because people who portray themselves as "Christians" (Bill'O, Gretchen and all the RepubliCONs) give a bad name to Christianity. It's not the religion, it's the people who are exploiting it.
