Yeah. That's about, what, less than 10% of the Christian population ? And in this 10%, how many actually push their agenda in schools ? 20% ? And based on this tiny minority you make your opinion of ALL christians. Anecdotal evidence is not convincing evidence, and you can't judge a population by its worst members. It's like saying Muslims are dangerous because some of them are extremists: it's just nonsense.
Also there is no way you could know what my "tune" would be depending on where i was, so that was a bit condescending. I think there's a name for that logical fallacy, can't remember it now though.
It doesn't matter if that's 10% or 20%, if you live in area that 99% are christians, and most of them are obnoxious. You happen to live in a country that seems to be tolerable, so you are totally clueless as to what it is to live in closet, fearing that if anyone could out you, your quality of life would take a plunge for the worse. You can philosophize all you want with your arrogant attitude in your ivory tower, but keep that to yourself until you are faced with that kind of life experience.
