You're engaging in precisely the behavior that facilitates the existence of those people, Cath. As mentioned more than once, the production of self serving taboos extended outwards to others. To me, this is probably the most insidious aspect of the christian faith as it stands currently - because it can be leveraged just as aptly from a position of weakness (where it finds itself today) as a position of strength (as it once enjoyed). In either context it is a tool for silencing dissent, this serves -no one-, but the institutions themselves, and even then, it backfires in zealotry.
I could use islam to explain this in further detail, if that would help you to get over your feelings and so see the issue I'm expressing more clearly or in a "friendlier" light -if you'd like. But, shh...don't tell the muslims we're talking shit about them, like meanies.....you game?
