It's funny.

I worry about the opposite. I worry that I'm going to wake up in a world where there is no place for Christians. That my religious freedoms/rights will be taken away, and I will have to choose between believing in Christ and living.

Thank you for explaining. I know there are CRAZY "CHRISTIANS". I am not that kind of Christian. I don't want to take anything away from anyone else, I just want to be free to do what I want to do. As a Christian, it would be amazing if all of my friends turned to Christ, but I don't want to FORCE them to. That's POINTLESS. Religion should be a personal choice... the government should have no say in it. Isn't that what the constitution protects/supports?

Again, thank you for explaining. I love you, sweetie!

Truthfully, the buzz about there being no place in America for Christians is more of the same "be afraid, they're coming to get you" nonsense crafted to make people like you afraid. Even the most liberal, far left person out there is never going to try to outlaw personal freedom of religion.

At best, we want it out of politics, out of health care, out of public schools - because until it is, it's not fair to anyone. But that's a far cry from trying to ban it. As I said, there are folks, (lie me, to a degree) that worry if religion and true equality can ever really live side by side, and some of us have our doubts. But it's a balance I'm only too happy to attempt, and I, like even the most dedicated anti-theist I can think of, will defend to the death everyone's right to think freely, regardless of *what* they think!

The problem is, when both the 'Crazy Christians' and the non-crazy ones quote the same book, use the same ideas, and claim the same worldview, it's tough to tell them apart. What we need is more Christians like you speaking out against the Crazy ones....
