With all the Religious Right whining about the militant atheists (all 3-4 of them) it seems just a tad incongruous for them to react so uncivilly at a book signing. And for the bookstore to cave to their over the top threats suggests that they may need an infusion of moxie themselves.

I am so, so tired of Christians portraying themselves as embattled martyrs. Having grown up not Christian in the US, I can say with confidence to them "YOU ARE THE MAJORITY AND A LOT OF THE REST OF US FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SHOVING YOUR RELIGION DOWN OUR THROATS."

Sorry for typographically yelling, but man oh man have I been hearing this silliness for a long time.

Silliness is exactly right. The entire idea of Christians being persecuted in the USA is about as silly as one can get. The real problem is that they are afraid of losing their privilege. So they invent the preposterous idea that they are the oppressed ones. One might say that a certain segment of the Christian population simply has never learned to play well with others. Tolerance is not their strong suit. And in an increasingly multicultural nation they are having a hard time coping.

Replace the word "Christian" with "white", and you've hit on another truth in US society.

You've hit the nail right on the head, dulios. Much of the racial angst is due to white's fear of losing privilege.

Only Fascists and Tyrants are threatened by what people have to say.

Christian Voice, you can start worrying about what other people are doing once you get your own affairs straight with God. Hate and Intolerance isn't part of a true Christian's diet.
