According to the writer of this article, Christians Are to Blame for the War on Christianity. That's the name of the article. Personally, I would have made a distinct difference between the two groups, and there are two groups - true followers of Christ and extremists who slander him for their own gain. This is perhaps the best article I've ever read on the matter, though.  The issue is spelled out under no uncertain terms, and it should be a wake up call to the Christians who suffer the tyranny of these horrible people almost as much as the rest of us. Eventually, though, the xtians, as I call them, will turn on the Christians as well, just as we've seen in the Muslim world. It's all the same, just with different names, and its driving force is power and insanity.

I am pasting the entire piece here, in the event it disappears from Huffington Post, or anywhere else it may be featured. The link to the article itself is in the title below.

Christians to Blame for the 'War on Christianity'

Some Christians believe that being anti-Christian is the only acceptable form of bigotry left in America. Outside of the absurdity of the vast majority of the claims offered as "proof" of this fallacy the hypocrisy necessary to make such a claim is phenomenal.

For example, noted conservative pundit Ann Coulter once stated, "liberals always play the victim in order to advance, win advantages and oppress others". While such tactics are hardly exclusive to liberals the supposed "War on Christianity" represents the pinnacle of all self ascribed pity parties.

Christians comprise just over 78% of the U.S. population, which is a significantly higher percentage of the population than the "angry atheists" who only account for 1.6%. What are these poor Christians to do when faced with such overwhelming odds against them?

The problem is that Christians have spent so much time pretending to be victims that they have become oblivious to their own indiscretions.

Spurned HGTV stars David and Jason Benham offer and excellent illustration of this point. The brothers took to Fox News to pen an article discussing how they were dropped from the station for standing by their "Biblical beliefs". Of course the problem wasn't that they were against marriage equality. The problem was that they funded and organized an anti-gay rally because ironically they felt that these "militant gay activists" shouldn't be given the opportunity to express their view that there is nothing "demonic," "veil," or "destructive" about being gay.

They're always featuring stories that display the multitudinous dangers of every day life. There's death around every corner according to the media. All your neighbours are perverts, all the medicine you take will help with one thing but make your tongue fall out and your left arm fall off, your vehicle may explode any minute, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!

It's like the folks in charge of this hooha are desperate to create a nation of ninnies, too scared to even step out of their own doors. I think this is the main reason why I hate watching the news. Not only do they try to scare you to death, but they use other people's deaths as a lesson that needs to be taught, even pounded into the heads of the viewing public. If someone died in a car accident, the reporter is always keen on adding that they were not wearing their seatbelt. I don't like to be talked down to like that. I wear my seatbelt thankyouverrahmuch so I don't need you waggling your index finger in my face like I'm some sort of demented child.

Now they're saying that taking some antibiotics may produce a poison bacteria that will kill you. I'm sick of it. If I'm sick enough and antibiotics will help me, I'll take my chances. If I die, I die. Stop trying to protect me with your sensationalist news reports. The world is already in the crapper, so why seek out even more dangers to try to scare the hell out of people? Reporting the simple facts should be frightening enough to keep viewers riveted.

Speaking of the news, I heard yesterday that a band of scientists have created a vaccine for the bird flu. This disappoints me more than I can sufficiently express with words. Guess I'll have to turn my prayers for something else as monumental, like airborne ebola or the return of the Great Mortality.
