And that little dig at the end was quite cute. But if you're gonna try to call me a hypocrite, at least be brave enough to just come out and say it instead of dancing around.
Okay, you're a hypocrite. You're a hypocrite because you complain about "liberals" and their "liberal tactics" while employing and supporting those who employ those same tactics. If you didn't think it was a worthwhile tactic when it was employed against you, why do you think it is a worthwhile attack to employ?

He made a statement saying that Christians have a collective intellectual handicap. Doesn't get much plainer than that.
He was referring to the evangelical christian right, not christianity as a whole. How is that not clear in his post when he specifically mentions the evangelical christian right? I don't mean to be a prick, but when you point at the sky and say it's red when obviously it is not, don't be surprised when you are called on it.

But i'm not gonna bother to reply in this thread again. You can now go back to your regularly scheduled Christian bashing without outside interference.
Christian bashing? Get over yourself. Some of the most important people in my life are seemingly more in tune with the teachings of christ than you could probably ever hope to be. I completely respect their faith and their abilities to think independently. The fact that you all you see in this thread is "christian bashing" reflects more on you than it does on this thread or any of its other participants. All you're doing is proving roachboy's point.
