I didn't mean to tar all moderates with one brush, apologies.

It just doesn't happen enough, and its usually the "evil" atheists who have to point out when the religious are doing something is quite simply immoral.

The attitude of "but that's not MY Christianity" just doesn't cut it. Call them out, and to account for it, not sit in silence.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
