re: #181 petesh

I kinda resent being called a victim of conservative propaganda. Note that the Ravenous Cofveve gave a figure of 55% Christian — and I said “a significant number,” which 45% certainly is. Moreover, I strongly suspect that many of the Bernie folks (certainly most of the several I know) are irreligious, and that this in part caused them to snicker at Hillary’s excellent relationship with black churchgoers. I’m calling for both believers and nonbelievers to respect the other, since (among Democrats) they share far more moral beliefs than not. I want Bernie to go away, but I do want his supporters to vote Democrat.

I’m not sure where the figure of 55% comes from.

Conservatives have been pounding “liberals hate Christians or Christianity.” They’ve been doing that longer than I’ve been alive … during the desegregation fights they were arguing liberals were standing against the order of God.

I did not call you a “victim of conservative propaganda.” I noted conservative propaganda has seeped into discussions on the left.

As for Sanders, perhaps he should go away and knit. /s
