Could you name a couple on the Other side? Since I don't know what the Side is nor who you see on it as 'just as bad'.

hint. Dawkins and Hitchens are not in the same league; look for other Bad Examples.

Oh, and you can save Mao and Pol Pot, as they had Faith in the essential Rightness of the Dogma and anything to push it was justified. I see that as a 'Same side' as Fundamentalist Christianity, even if they had an atheistic dogma.

Sorry, I'm not going any deeper into this political discussion. Maybe go start one on the politcal forum? I'm sure some folks there can name a few.

The irony is that you believe those you stand with to be of better moral character.

The reality is that every time the conversation turns to racism within christian churches, you can't bring yourself to speak out against it. This is not the first time it's come up. And you tip toe around it and make excuses.

Racism is bad. It's very bad. I've said it before.

There. I've said it again. And I'll say it again. Racism is bad.

But Jerry Falwell hanging around racists like Wallace and Maddox was just being a good guy.

I know nothing about that, and won't comment on it. And as I've stated, I have no doubt some of those you like have similar acquantances.
