The Left Needs to Chill Out About Christianity

LowDown · Apr 14, 2018

There are things the left really hates, but it seems to me that they hate Christianity more than anything.

This has been demonstrated repeatedly throughout time. Be it booing God at the DNC, or their irrational hatred of politicians that openly show their faith.

Case in point, there’s something about Mike Pence that just drives the left insane, and it mostly has to do with his adherence to the Christian faith. Honestly, makes me wonder if Trump is the most hated man in America. The left lies consistently about Pence's positions as it pertains to his faith. His own daughter can’t even write a kid’s book without sending the left into hate spasms.

Even beloved celebrities aren't immune from the anti-Christian hate of the left. Just check out what happened to Guardians of the Galaxy/Jurassic World actor Chris Pratt when he asked people to pray with him for Kevin Smith.

Which explains the hysteria over the opening of a Chic-fil-A fast food store in New York City. For Dan Piepenbring at the New Yorker, Chick-fil-A opening a store in New York is just unconscionable, and is an “infiltration” of the worst religious kind. ...the brand’s arrival here feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism,” wrote Piepenbring. “Its headquarters, in Atlanta, is adorned with Bible verses and a statue of Jesus washing a disciple’s feet.”

Somebody stop the madness! The delicious madness!

Would the New Yorker have published such an editorial about a restaurant run by pious Muslims, characterizing their establishing a store in New York as an "infiltration"?

Meanwhile, Chick-fil-A as a brand is enjoying enormous success fueled in part by the notoriety they gained simply by adhering to traditional values. I suspect that New York liberals will find that there are plenty of New Yorkers who appreciate traditional values and a good chicken sandwich.

I live in NYC, cheek by jowl with the type, and that, boys and girls, is the lowdown on NYC Liberals in anno domini 2018.

Funny how when Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox and friends, etc say something controversial and/or stupid the Right defends them by saying it's just their 'opinions' and they are only 'entertainment'.

But when it happens on other so called 'MSM' outlets then their opinions and editorial pieces are seen as fact and news. So in this case ONE editorial means of course all Liberals hate Christianity.

What a stupid generalization, as usual.

I see. I read your sentence as attributing this view to "traditional values" and criticizing those values because "fast food chicken is not a problem" for them.

You don't like religion, period.

Amen to that!

Spiritually-challenged liberals don't like competition to their own demented religion.

Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion.

In her book "Godless - the Church of Liberalism," Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).

So the difference between your hate and the hate you love to hate is that your hate doesn't make you feel better about yourself?

you should feel good about hating bastards who do that opposing them makes the world a better place if you dont want to be judged oppressed or hurt based on faith

So, the only difference between their hate and your hate is that their hate is connected to religious moral belief and your hate is connected to political moral belief (the better world argument). Have I got this straight?

Who in the Sam Hill are you, and where did you dig up that load of sophomoric, horse manure morality?

When you can create a rock out of nothing then you might acquire a modicum of respect for your knee-jerk, moral relativism.

Another crock of hooey.

There are no innocent people.

some one who will judge you based on how your actions effect others instead of how a fairy tail monster tells me to in the hopes it will reward me

2 people of the same gender getting hitched dosent hurt me or any one else saying that is evil because you want to believe it is hurts people its sick for you to do so

why the **** would the creation of a rock make my judgments better or worse what stupid **** is this? if i could make a rock from nothing and said its good to kill you how would that be better then if i could not make a rock?

and can you point out your rock maker is more than a story do you have 1 on hand to confirm your sick twisted fantasy or what?

The left does not so much Hate Christianity as much as fight against discrimination, unfortunately Christians try to do quite a bit of that.

The only neutral point I can make is Ms. Coulter was orphaned at age 47.

...

If I understand you correctly then, you distinguish between two kinds of hate, good hate and bad hate, but you don't find the difference between the two in either the self-satisfaction of the hater or the belief of the hater (since both good haters and bad haters are self-satisfied and have beliefs, as you have acknowledged) -- no, you locate the difference between good hate and bad hate in the difference between objects of hate. Bad hate is bad because the object of hate is undeserving of hate, and good hate is good because the object of hate is deserving of hate.

Is this your position? Do I understand and have I fairly represented your view?
