The problem is that there are religious groups lobbying government to change the laws of the land, to change what is taught in our schools not
to mentiion that religious organisations also get tax breaks too.
Maybe so, but you can do this back to them. Here is an example of someone who is getting angry that they can't enjoy christmas like they used to
because some minority group finds it offensive. This means good news for people who are a minorty who feel the majority is cruel and mean and won't
listen to them.

But please understand, if you live in a place where a vast majority of people are say christians, it stands to reason that since their tax dollars are
being fed to the system that they end up getting listened to the most, right? If you were a politician, the last thing you want to do is piss off
those who helped you get there. Nothing is free, not even freedom. Everyone wants something! That doesn't mean the political movements actually
represent the WHOLE of the people in that religion. The political groups WANT you to think that so you'll get more frightened and maybe want to move
away, just as say a "white pride" group might like non-white people to think that they are representing the views of every single white person when
they don't.
I don't care if say, ...you got beaten up by a skinhead once when you were a little kid and that experience formed your personal view of white people
in adult life, ie that
"skinheads beat me up and they have white skin and they said to me that they represent whites."
"Therefore, all whites must be skinheads."
"So now I'm going to complain about people who are white and only hang out with non-whites and take one of the sides".
..it's still WRONG to generalise and hold predjudices.
This is why such broad generalisations only seek to divide communities by highlighting all the difference there are between people and getting them to
compete with each other as groups instead of tolerating the differences that exist. This thread is titled in such a way as to make it sound like all
christianity is to blame for the actions of one guy. Can't you see the point I'm trying to make?
Lets say you live in an area where there are a lot of old people. Old people who fought in a war and who feel they are not safe after reading the
local paper about the latest terror plot, and now want to send their young to war to fight so they can feel safe and secure. In their mind, the world
they grew up in taught them you must kill everything. Is it wrong to expect them to care if the young guy even wants to fight and die in a foreign
land or not? I would say yes. Because there is imbalance of power. The old guys will gang up and say, "it's time to help the community and give
something back" and then because they valued, they vote him out. But when he gets old he can do the same thing back to the people below him. So it
evens out naturally. You can't say that "all the tax paying old people are less important than me", because you might be one yourself one day and
then suddenly change your opinion once you are personally affected. Just tolerate differences.
This is the real world. There are people who care about freedom, (political correctness has forced us to accept things like "affirmative action";
shoved down the throat in schools to brainwash children to accept it) while others want security and just to live in a world where they fought hard to
retain their values. (eg leaders who are forced to swear to god when they take an oath, freedom to put up christmas deocrations, praying in school
because this is what they do growing up at home with parents who taught them that etc) You won't always have your way.
But if you go on attacking innocents who have nothing to do with what the guy in the story has done, and say everyone but you is just like him, you
just come off as a troll imo.
