This so much. The Liberals have this idea that you HAVE to think the way they do or you're racist, ignorant, or a bigot.

Man, Fox News is right wing propaganda. Hell, Fox News isn't even a news station. They're an entertainment network.

All MSM (CNN, NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC) is entertainment and propaganda. None is credible news i.e reporting the facts. It's all opinionated
I watch none of it except during important events like an election.

Just like a lot of conservatives think if you are tolerant of someone, you're a dirty tree hugging hippy. It works both ways.

I don't need a link. Again, I went to Catholic schools my whole life, in a HUGE Catholic community where damn near everyone is Catholic and goes/went to Catholic schools. Most people didn't care one way or the other about gays. If anything, most were pretty liberal in general or at least moderate. Catholicism doesn't really focus on "sin" or the scripture the way most protestants do. "Sin" as a concept is very minor overall in Catholicism.
Heavily Catholic areas are usually liberal areas, or at least moderate. Worth noting.

You didn't direct this at me, but thanks for making my point.
To be fair, "ignorant" got thrown out pretty quick because I disagreed with an opinion. So let's not cast stones here.
That said if that's ignorance, I'll take it at this point. I'd rather not blindly follow a network just because they align with some of my beliefs. I'm fairly liberal and MSNBC is about as big a shitshow as it gets.

Same here. I usually look at BBC or different places on the Internet for news. I can't stand network news in America. It's so horribly biased no matter what channel you turn it on.

I never see Christians trying to impose their beliefs on anyone, but I do see the opposite.
The Christians I know offer their beliefs to people who express an interest, but certainly not in an overbearing way.

The Christian thing to do is to want to see everyone go to Heaven. You SHOULD try to help them. People always criticize Christians for trying to convert other people, but from our point of view that'd be like giving up hope on someone, which isn't very Christian.

The thing is, that's your BELIEF. You may or may not even be correct. You have no idea. So why can't you accept that others may believe something else, and they are no more right or wrong than you?

I have friends that make healthy debate on either side of the issue. But I've seen people try to "convert" others aggressively in all different types of religions and beliefs. This includes Christianity as well as Jehovah Witnesses, Atheists, Mormon, etc. Even though I will say I don't think I've ever had anyone who was Jewish try to convert me (which is odd now that I think about it).
Everybody has them. That probably gets highlighted for Christians because, as Delta quoted earlier, the majority of this country is Christian. I like to put it in SECRant terms in that everybody has their UKWildcatsFANs, some fanbases due to their numbers have a couple.

I would say it has less to do with God and more to do with priorities when it comes to family values. You can have sound family values without religion IMO.

I bet you think having "In God we Trust" on our currency is the reason it is so prosperous. Truth is, that wasn't added until after WWII.
I'm a Christian dude, but the argument that there is a war on Christianity in this country is stupid. If you want to see a real war on our beliefs, go to the middle east. They are raping, torturing and killing people who are Christians.

Ahh.... a term I can understand.
I do try to evangelize as part of my faith, but because of the vitriol towards Christianity today, I usually wait for folks to be open, then I discuss. I'm kind of ashamed to admit that by the way.
As a Christian, I don't want anyone to perish, but I won't force it on anyone.

The misunderstanding here is that to a Protestant Christian, the entire concept of morality is based on sin, which is based in the Bible, which is a book about God. To them, they are one and the same. Morality can and does exist outside of a religious context.

Well the bible is actually several books written by several authors at different times and in different languages and about multiple topics, everything from history, genealogy, community laws, songs and poetry, to the gospels and so on. It's not meant to be read as a single book like a novel but is rather a collection of works. Although, a lot of literalists do seem to think it's some a single book about God.
