There was no Inquisition, there were no crusades, and nobody was hung in Salem for being witches.

Exactly! Christians are just sooo peaceful and loving.

Instead try praying for her mental, physical, psychological etc., well-being , and that the criminals who did this get what they deserve.

PIG !
First of all, I don't pray to a invisible fake man in the sky....

Second of all, how about I do hope she recovers and I do hope the criminals get what they deserve! Oh try that! But with your little high school mind you would not think that?

Second of all, hate to say it but it is true. I know some Christians are so anti gay that they are happy this happened to her.

Disgusting agenda? No, the TRUE agenda!

Let her marry who she wants. Simple as that. The TRUE agenda.

I've stated this before but maybe it was in another thread .... Just because someone CALLS themself a Christian does not mean that they trully are. The inquisition, crusades & Salem witch huntings does not represent what Christianity is really about. Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves, which includes non-believers.

Do you know these Christians personally or are you just buying into the hateful stereotypes that the leftist media feeds you?

It warms my heart to see that some people still have an ounce of intelligence in them. I hardly see it anymore.
Aw thanks... and you're welcome! Don't fret, there are still plenty of reasonable people out there - thankfully (nearly) 50% of California has some common sense.

And by the way, how did you know I am not gay? Sometimes when I read what I wrote, I think I might be gay!
My "gay-dar" didn't go off, I guess... having grown up in San Francisco, my intuition even works over the internet.

Your gay dar. Niceee!!!

No, I am not gay. In fact I am with a man and I am very happy with him. I just wish everyone could enjoy this happiness...regardless of their gender.

Yeah...people are stupid. Half of California....

I'm sorry, but if one claims a religion they are representing that religion - like it or not. Believe me, there are MANY Jewish people I'd like to "disown," but they are Jewish in their minds (and usually in practice)... who am I to argue with that? And furthermore, what is the criteria for being a "real" Christian/Jew/Muslim/etc? If it's following the holy books word for word, I don't think any of us qualify. All of that being said, I agree that some people are a bad representation of Christians... so I don't fault all of you because of them.
