re: #271 Blind Frog Belly White

That’s too bad. I don’t know whether you’re a believer or not, but I can tell you that there are churches that are not like that. I grew up in one - though it didn’t take - and a couple of my siblings have found churches that are the polar opposite.

I’ve met a number of people over the years whose view of Christianity has been shaped by exposure to “Christians”, and it really bothers me that this is becoming the prevailing view, because those “Christians” are SO LOUD.

Of course, being atheist, I really don’t have a god in the fight. But I know it doesn’t have to be like this.

It is a pity because there are many religious people out there doing a lot of good for people, and they get smeared with the same brush. And by religious I am talking about all different religions. The users and takers get all the press and attention (as you say, the loud ones), while the others go about their good deeds pretty much in obscurity.
