OK, so show me examples to the contrary.

Manly looking nuns rapping kids accross the knuckles with rulers.

Yeah, I must have just imagined that during my years in Catholic school.

Stern priests chastising foks for any sin, real, perceived, or suspected.

I've suffered through this crap, too.

They have their stereotypes of Christians and will not be swayed from them.

Likewise xtians have stereotypes of non-xtians as wild, hedonistic pagans.

I find that a bit odd coming from a class of people, the left, that generally prides itself in open mindedness and all inclusiveness.

The Left's problem with xitanity isn't xtianity itself; it's your puritanical zeal to quell and suppress - thorugh the political process when possible - whatever you happen to currently find objectionable. You know, gay rights, geocentricism, stuff like that. If left unchecked (pun intended), the xtian socio-political machine would completely obliterate the left in the name of 'moral cleansing'.[/B]
