Xtians who complain about judgementalism: You haven't got a clue until 20 fifth-graders come up to you one-by-one to tell you you're going to hell.
Heh. Glad to see my vibe-reading skills are still working.

If I couldn't cope with people sniggering, do you think I'd deliberately invite it in an open forum? Your knee is jerking a little, I think. Anyway, if you think Christians are bad about judging non-Christians, you should see us let loose on each other. But if you want me to think we have a monopoly on the judgement thing, you're going to have to keep trying. One street preacher can incite a full-on riot of self-righteous atheists. We, on the other hand, require a full gay pride parade to get worked up. (ducks)

Actually, I would think being militant gay is similar to being a militant Christian in some respects. You always have to wonder if you're safe to let someone know, but once you get over your fear, you're shoving it in peoples faces all the time.

And we can't wave to each other in the liquor store, so they actually have it easier.
edited to fix a misleading pronoun.
