I've noticed Christians are laughed at as hypocritical and stupid when their complaints and indignations are hypocritical and stupid. Unfortunately there are many visible and vocal idiots connected with this form of political thought that they like to label as "christian", Gibson, Dobson, Robertson, et al.
PS. Christian does not equal Conservative or Extreemist.
This is the REAL attack on Christianity- that it is a political ideology rather than an individual spiritual concern.
I've met many a radical liberal Christian. Some rockin' nuns and progressive Christians who are more concerned about actual acts of Christian charity— feeding people, caring for the sick and elderly, building homes, supporting community development, tackling racism, assisting immigrants— than the pagentry/indignation of the media. And those laughing at them are "normal" people like you.
