LILYBEAN: One thing I have noticed is that these fanatics at least stick up for their God.

Truly frightening to think about, isn't it?

I didn't say I believed in their methods. I don't. I don't believe in anything they do. I just wish that maybe a little more effort would be put in Christianity these days while we try to fight off the Islams. Every damn concession is being made for the Islam faith, and none for Christians. I am not saying that Christians have to go out and bombard people. I am asking Christians to stand up for their faith as Islams are standing up for theirs. Sorry if I offended you. But if I have to have Islam pushed down my throat at every turn. I better damn well have the choice of Christianity. Or should I just roll over and play dead?
