Who is calling for killing all the, fill in the blank, in our country? It actually happens and is promoted in other countries but not here. Maybe some wacko once in a while will say it but no one cares.

Phobia is thrown around too much when someone says anything negative about a group. It's not a phobia unless you run or shake with fear when you see a certain person. Most people don't understand the meaning of phobias in the first place.

Let's stop using the term, ok?

Open your eyes and look at the world around you.

It is the height of ignorance to deny that it was designed.

Take a biology class.

Thanks for the spell check. Can you support your opinion with any facts?

I agree. There are many terms incorrectly used and phobia is at the top of the list.

No, but they'll compare Christians to a group of people so vile that they stoned people to death as halftime entertainment at soccer games, and threw acid in girls faces for going to school, and hanged a seven-year old boy in the town square as a warning not to "spy". Why? Because Christians think aborting a fetus is tantamount to murder, or because they feel that marriage should be between a man and a woman (as it has been for thousands of years). It's not like they're stoning them to death during football games, which is what would have happened in Afghanistan prior to 2001.

I'm an agnostic, living in the Bible Belt, and I never have people telling me I'm going to hell for not believing in God.

Why is it okay to hate Christians but yet not okay to hate those groups? What is with the double standard? I know plenty of people who would certainly qualify as Christianphobes.

BTW I am not advocating that it should be okay to hate Muslims or gays, it's not. Just pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standard.
Liberals oppose Western society.

They have a history of justifying their hatred and bigotry because they only act hateful and bigoted towards hateful and bigoted people. There is no more hypocritical person on the planet than a liberal.

They excuse hate speech from blacks because in their mind the black person is only reacting to the hate experienced from whites. They will deride Christians as being the American Taliban, which of course is a derogatory use of a Muslim term, while at the same time deriding those Christians for being Islamophobic. Hypocrisy.

Mainstream Western society stands against radical Muslims, therefore liberals support Muslims. Mainstream Western society has been against homosexual marriage, therefore liberals support homosexuals. The fact that Muslims are more intolerant of homosexuals than Westerners are isn't relevant because both of those groups are against the liberals' main opponent, mainstream conservatives.

Because nobody takes it seriously when members of an 80% supermajority claim to be oppressed.
