I think these came from Rants, Raves & Preaching, which you should understand is a lightly moderated forum. Much more vitriol is tolerated in that forum than in the others. People will tend to say things out of frustration in there. If you don't agree with it, and many don't, you don't have to participate. You can stay in the philosophical fora, where the mods will ensure such comments are swiftly dealt with. Either way, specifically looking for comments offensive to theists on this website will be met with sure success.</strong>

I assumed that you wanted an answer so I'll just note that they came from one of the "miscellaneous religious discussions". I just did a word search on "Christian". Those comments are acceptable by the infidel "rules" and I was not "offended".

So, aside from my being completely wrong, what was your point?

Goody: I notice that the Infidels are PC enough to always criticize Christians and not Jews.

I think that is completely inaccurate. Since the OT is basically Jewish, there is plenty of criticism of Jewish religion. I personally am always ready to criticise theists of any stamp, particularly fundamentalists, and I think there is much to criticise in fundamentalist judaism.

I think you miss the points that:

Goody, so far I can see from the internet, the Jews don't want to impose Judaism as a state religion on America, fundy Xians do. nor do they say that atheists are morally depraved. Hence all this animus against Christianity.
