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.

A quiz I snorfled off [livejournal.com profile] durgablue's journal. I think it's pretty accurate.

Klein Sexual Orientation Grid


I scored an average of 1.71

01 2 3 4 5 6
HeterosexualBisexualHomosexual

Meaning

This result can also be related to the Kinsey Scale:

0 = exclusively heterosexual
1 = predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual
2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 = equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 = predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual
6 = exclusively homosexual

Summary

The idea of this exercise is to understand exactly how dynamic a person's sexual orientation can be, as well as how fluid it can be over a person's lifespan. While a person's number of actual homo/heterosexual encounters may be easy to categorize, their actual orientation may be completely different. Simple labels like "homosexual", "heterosexual", and "bisexual" need not be the only three options available to us.

Take the quiz

To be honest, I just haven't found the right girl yet. There are times when the feel of another close to me, our sweet scents lingering in the air just above us, seems like the very definition of deep ineffable love. The Goddess made manifest by way of our union. The very few experiences I've had have been at the behest of the males involved and, to be honest, I left the experience feeling unfulfilled, embarrassed, and not a little angry at the woman, the men, at myself. I regret not having the social skills enough to realise that my best friend in high school was coming on to me. We may still be together had I not been so naive, had my blinders not done their job a little too well.

Sometimes, I think I'd be better off with a woman close to my age. A woman who could dance with me to Duran Duran songs and who could embrace me during my peri-menopausal days, and for whom I could make spicy teas and bathe her in hot water to help her overcome her cold. I think what I'm feeling is a natural thing. Men and women prefer the company of their own kind. We only leave our respective tribes to mate and bring forth the next generation. After that's done, they return to the natural order of things, gaining wisdom, pleasure, and sexual release from the ones who know and love them best. I want to go there more than anything as I grow older and wonder where the wisdom is.
