Quote:Well, sure, but they fear lots of others who have rejected their bullshit story in more directly threatening ways.
Look at it from the point of view of a soldier. When he fights another soldier in uniform there is a degree of respect. But when that same soldier is shot at by a civilian the civilian is a terrorist to be shot on sight....along with his whole family if necessary or possible. (Before someone whines about that analogy remember that we invented the term "collateral damage.")
It's similar. A xtian can hate a towel-head because he believes in a different invisible man in the sky. But that is not as bad as someone who tells both of them that they are out of their fucking minds for believing in invisible sky-daddies in the first place.
