How about someone like myself Rwandall, with a view that the most saintly and decent of christians is, at a very fundamental level, a bigoted piece of shit that gives consent or respect to concepts like ethnic cleansing, genocide, apocalyptic annihilation, scapegoating and thought crimes? That's the thing, I don't need the worst examples of any religion to come to my point of view, I just take their text, and their faith in their text at their word. Maybe they don't actually believe or feel all warm and fuzzy about any of that shit, if so, I'd sure as hell like for them to speak up and be counted. Otherwise I'm pretty certain that any actual apocalypse is going to find it's triggerman from within their ranks. Life denying fuckers. They'd rather see this place and everyone in it that disagrees with them burn than consider that they may be wholly incorrect.
