You can disagree all you want. I don't care. Nor do I intend to sway others to my beliefs. I simply refuse to base my judgement on labels attached to a person: Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic, Jew, Black, White, or gay. I do draw the line at Oiler's Fans though.
Your little anecdote is amusing for many reasons. First of all, you have taken a huge leap in saying a cop, a lawyer, and a judge are a decent cross section of Christianity, and we can therefore judge all Christians as heartless. Secondly, pouring money into the streets in a poor part of town could very easily have incited a riot. If people are being trampled, or an atmosphere of looting breaks out, is it not the role of the three tyrants mentioned to protect our civilians? Hilarious. If nothing was done, and people killed, would it still have been the Christians fault?
I have seen a lot of hammering of the religious conservative on this board. By the way, I am not particularily active in any sort of organized religion, I just have strong personal beliefs. In my opinion the prejudices voiced towards people not willing to give up their faith in the name of science is every bit as intolerant as what is being accused. We all have beliefs, what gives you the right to be judgemental?
If they try to show you their religion, and that is crossing the line for you, I have no problem with you expressing your displeasure. The other side of the coin is people with faith have the right to show their displeasure with you lumping them in with the bad apples.
EDIT: A quote from Saul Alinsky on Wikipedia:
"The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people."
Hmm, it looks like he would like to lump 'em all together and cause a riot.
