Millions would go hungry in this country alone, cause you sure aint gonna feed em. Millions would have no place to sleep tonight, cause you sure aint gonna house em. Millions would be struggling with drugs with no help, cause you sure aint gonna help em. All this, thanks to Christians just in America. Millions others helped all over the world. We've been opposed by folks like you for decades now. And youre still losing badly, but millions are winning.

Don't need statistics or facts or reason when you feel truth in your gut. Truthiness

The radical Christians aren't the ones supporting charities. And it isn't as if non-believers can't do anything charitable.

We've been opposed by folks like you for decades now. And youre still losing badly, but millions are winning. I think that few people, atheist or otherwise, would deny that moderate Christianity has had a positive impact on the world. The same can be said of moderate Islam, Judaism, Hinduism - you name it, moderate religion has resulted in many steps forward for the world. Jesus was, if you want to look at it from one angle, a socialist. Wasn't it him who famously said 'It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven?' It's hardly an endorsement of right-wing capitalism. However, we're not talking about moderates. We're talking about radicals - the fringe groups in religions who use their beliefs to justify abhorrent acts. Radical Islamic ideology preaches death to homosexuals. Mike Pence, the Vice-President himself, follows the so called 'gay-cure' movement, which has been known to involve the torture of LGBT+ individuals in order to 'turn them' straight. Both acts are religiously motivated, and both are frankly unacceptable. Extremism isn't limited to either of these groups, naturally. In short: the good actions of a religion do not blot out the bad, and vice versa. That much should be obvious.

Ranting & raving about something I never said. I don't have a problem with Christianity. Or Islam. Or Judaism. Or Hinduism. The problem I have is with the kind of sick violence as represented by radical Islam and radical Christianity. Beheadings by the cowards of ISIS or public broadcasts of executions all the same to me and should be fought at every point. That one is unable to tell the difference between the two or tell the difference between normal Christianity and the darker & more apocalyptic version that would offer up public broadcast of executions as a viable social option really tells everyone all we need to know.

The key is to tolerate while not unreasonably imposing. But what happens when radical becomes mainstream? When the abnormal becomes normal? When up becomes down? When we have a President & an administration that lies with impunity and then accuses the media of spreading fake news? That is where we are in this country. I'm done even pretending to tolerate that bs. I love my country too much for that.

Radical anything can be dangerous if taken too far. The key is to tolerate while not unreasonably imposing. Even radical Doctor Who fans? All fandoms can have radical fans, it's just with properties like Doctor Who they can be more vocal, and thus more visible. A good rule of thumb is that if you don't have anything productive or constructive to say, it's best to refrain from saying it out loud. I don't deny people are allowed to have their own opinions, but sometimes they are expressed aggressively or inappropriately. There are times where I have wished I'd kept my mouth shut or not posted something. Having a variety of opinions is what makes fandoms great. After all, we're all individuals. WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS. I'm not.

One thing I love about Americans is that they think they have a right and left party's. .. They have a right and a very right. You couldn't be more wrong about that.

If Trump has proven anything it is that America does indeed have a left. Much like the Tea Party questioning if the establishment GOP actually represented them, the protest & resist movements we have seen in the last month are left questioning if establishment Democrats are serving their interests and if not, what are they going to do about it?

The key is to tolerate while not unreasonably imposing. do you mean like radical Liberalism? Complaining bout how the site is so nice when only those who post anti trump are around? I do agree with your post. And wouldn't think of imposing my beliefs on anyone. I don't think any religious beliefs should be imposed on anyone. That's one of my arguments in favor of abortion.

You accuse Nathan and others of being too liberal and wanting to spend "your money" helping people, but now you assert that it's not the liberals that want to help people but radical Christians? Both views are utter rot, a lot of people from all walks of life want to make a difference, improve the human condition, and no group, however large or small has any kind of monopoly on that.

Don't have to make no sense when you feel the truth in your gut.
And just as a side note, I'm a single white male with no dependents that I know of. Believe me, I pay taxes. Man, do I pay taxes. And honestly, I'm okay with that.

Its not as if any of us are dumping blood on fur coats, or or trying to turn people gay, or whatever else it is that "radical liberals" do. We're just having a civilized(ish) debate. I don't mind you being around, as long as you're not being offensive. I like to have my views challenged. Just be more careful about some of the things that you say.
