One doesn’t have to be a believer to see what is happening, just honest, intelligent, and logical. Although I’m a Catholic, I’m not fond of the in-your-face, have you been saved? brand of Christianity. But I don’t hate or resent them, and I certainly don’t want to see them denigrated or disenfranchised in a de facto way like much of the angry left seems to desire.

In the U.S., the news/entertainment industry and the education industry are both controlled by, and largely populated by, individuals who are, as I said, deeply bigoted against all but the most exsanguinated and emasculated forms of Christianity. Many of them are just as evangelical and closed-minded and ignorant as the bible thumpers. The difference is, the left elite has the money and the bully pulpit (mass media) which makes their ability to proseltyze much more powerful, even brutal.

In addition, the notion of the devoutly Christian being the ultimate danger in the universe is central to their core beliefs and their narrative. So much so that their means of resolving the cognitive dissonance caused by the juxtaposing of a few loudmouth televangelists with the evils of Islamic fascist terrorism is to say that devout Christians are equivalent to people who fly planes into buildings.

To believe otherwise would be to admit that their basis for life and the all imprtant narrative were completely wrong, something they lack the courage to do. And so the elitism, and the bigotry, continue.

A commenter upthread mentioned how many so-called Christians would support the party so heavily populated by this sort of bigot. Perhaps the commenter should study history. In the beginning, it would be the Falwells and the Robertsons who would be led off to the camps. In the end, it would be all Christians.
