I feel like the odd one out here. I've met nice, forgiving Christians and I've never met the homophobic, arrogant, sign-holding violent Christian ever in my life. It might just be I live in an exceptionally welcoming area and my experience with Christians is not as big as some of the adults around here.

Or maybe everybody is just overreacting and wanting to hate on something.

You do realize that when you hate and judge an ENTIRE religion based on what Westboro does and what some people a long time ago did, you're being the hateful, arrogant ones, not the Christians?

Good god this is why I hate most people. I'm just going to say it: Atheists are not oppressed. Gays are not oppressed. Christians are the oppressed. We live in a society where being gay or an Atheist is an accepted thing, and if you're a Christian, life is hell. You get crushed and beaten and you become the scum of society, not because of what you did, but because some idiots in the same group as you killed some people and are holding up signs and have tainted the whole message your religion originally meant to spread. You just want to tell people about your God, you want to celebrate him, and you want others to see how your religion is good. But you can't because you are bashed, hated, and not allowed to show your religion anywhere.

Oh, the poor gays! The poor atheists! Such oppressed! Much hated! Wow! The poor wittle gays, such a harsh society where the BIG EVIL CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES rule, everybody hates the poor wittle gays, wow coming out such bravery, they need to praised by Obama on television because they were so brave! Who cares about the brave soldiers at war! Who cares about the Christians who pray in public and celebrate their religion! They shouldn't because EVERYTHING SINGLE THING ABOUT CHRISTIANITY IS EVIL OOOH THEY ALL HATE AND JUDGE AND KILL AND HOLD UP SIGNS AND HATE GAYS OOOOOH US ATHEISTS ARE SO OPPRESSED, SO OUT OF PLACE OUT OF SOCIETY WAAAAAAAH THIS IS TOTALLY THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN, WHERE GAYS AND ATHEISTS ARE HATED AND CHRISTIANS RULE GOTTA HATE ON THOSE CHRISTIANS CAUSE WE ARE SO MUCH SMARTER AND BETTER THAN THOSE H8TERS
