No you are correct it's not as attested to by the small sampling of the Christian reactions here FNM. My comment was a response to gawdzilla thinking I had no clue what a poe was. The point I was making was that too often the characterization is often aimed mainstream Christianity. For instance if (just an example from someone I hope won't get offended) I was to pretend to be an asshole and said.. but atheist are like that all the time just look at min. That would be just as damning and fallacious as some of these preposterous poes. It does nothing to come to some kind of societal norm/peace or mutual understanding, it only suffices to mock another group of people who believe different than you (that was a general you). It doesn't break down walls it builds them and reinforces stereo types,. that if left alone would die out themselves slowly because they're ridiculous.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
