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.

We're watching a show on the Donner Party. Those people knew how to paaaahhhh-taaaay! I wouldn't mind having a great big Donner Party and inviting certain individuals.

Seriously....
The Donner Party is proof positive that humans aren't so far beyond our innate bestial nature. It wouldn't take very much or very long for all of us to supposedly revert and become the savages that dwell just underneath the skin, chomping at the bit to reveal themselves and take over our thin morals and civility. We've convinced ourselves that we'd never do something like what the Donner Party did. Au contraire! Our society needs to be knocked down a few notches or so. We need to be reduced to cannibalism and savagery in order to fully appreciate what it means to be human. We are all pretend humans with our anti-bacterial soaps, indoor plumbing, and microwave ovens.

So, I say bring it on! But I always say that don't I? Words cannot express how much I want to see our civilisation collapse, to see all these germ-free kids grubbing in the filth for a little shred of food, to see the 'highest class' person be stoned to death by the 'rabble' and devoured in a stone soup, to see logical individuals huddled around fires at night genuinely afraid of the dark. The Donner Party will seem wise then. They'll seem to be the most ingenious of survivors. People will follow in their footsteps. Yeah.

And that includes me, if I even survive, which I probably wouldn't 'cos I'm Queen Ninny. I've always said "god help whomever is with me, 'cos they're gonna end up being travelling partner tartar if we ever hit a snag where survival becomes an issue." Yeah, I know all about my inner savage. You'll be lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack if you're travelling with me.
