Earlier this year I wrote about a group of evangelists who claimed that not wanting to be recruited into their brand of Christianity was an act of anti-Christian persecution.
In recent years, Christian persecution has taken on a variety of forms in the United States—from a rising intolerance for proselytising to the eradication of nearly all historical Christian references in public school textbooks.
Rick Warren has apparently taken a page out of their book because he’s now declared that he’s a victim of hate speech:
Why is Warren a victim of what he likes to call “christophobia”? Because many of have not remained silent but have done what we can to expose this pious fraud as the bigoted a-hole he’s always been.
i don’t understand this talk of phobias, christophobia/islamophobia etc.
a phobia is an irrational fear of something.
i do NOT fear religion, i dislike religion, a totally different thing from a phobia.
also i do not feel that my dislike is irrational. why should i like a god that is genocidal, homophobic and misogynistic? why should i support a religion that supports such ideals? i consider my reaction to these to be wholly rational.
therefor i do not have a phobia.
