I like to think of it as a sign of who is right.

Speaking for myself, there aren't twelve different kinds of mosques in the square mile immediately around my home. There aren't six different kinds of Buddhist temples on my way to work.

On the day when the Mormons are the ones proposing to shape my lifestyle for their outdated beliefs, I'll argue with them just the same as I argue with Christians who don't know the difference between religious freedom and religious ubiquity.

But for now, the political argument on my front door is with the Christians.

That said, I don't dislike religions, so I'm not *really* the person your meme is targeting.

It's mainly targeting the people who target Christianity because they proselytize to others, and then go around defending other religions, like liberals do.

That said, I don't really understand your point of view. You dislike Christians because they evangelize? Or because they have churches near your house? That's like targeting a wal-mart because they built a few around your house and send you ads in the mail.

Heck, most Christians don't even bother others about Christianity, so I don't understand your point. Do you just not like the fact that they are there? Yeah, those morals, like that Do not murder one, sure are bothersome. I guess...

This is going to read like an invitation to argue with me on several issues, but try to understand :-

Where I live, there are currently zero proposals for legislation on enacting Sharia Law right now - locally, statewide, nationally - zero; there's no traction to any such movement. There's exactly zero Buddhist sponsored bills telling us how to run our lives.

There are relentless attempts to shut down Planned Parenthood, for no other reason than because there's a Christian interpretation that says that life starts at conception and they're trying to force that belief even though not everybody agrees that it does, and somehow Planned Parenthood became symbolic of that struggle. I was with a woman for many many years who depended on the local Planned Parenthood for affordable women's healthcare, we would have been lost without it. If somebody had shut it down, I don't know what we would have done.

For years, and fortunately this has changed, but for many years my closest and dearest friend had to live as an illegal immigrant living in fear that someday she'll be ripped away from her wife, for no other reason than because Christian pastors had convinced our politicians that acknowledging the legal rights of their marriage somehow would diminish the status of their religion.

The ones who tried to ban my music when I was a child called themselves Christian. The people who made me pray in school every morning were Christian. When our politicians get into a competition over which of them is the most Christian, it always seems to be everybody who isn't who pays the price.

So understand that if you see me arguing with Christians and not with Mormons, Muslims, or Buddhists, it's not because I've singled out Christianity as a religion to pick on - it's because Christianity is the one that is SO intrusively ubiquitous that they bring the fight for my freedoms to me.

If you can't see why those things bother people, then I don't know what else to tell you. This is more than people just knocking on my door every Sunday holding pamphlets - this is a struggle for the right to respectfully disagree in society.

True that. Although, I really don't agree with you, and have never really seen any Christians doing half the stuff you're talking about, I can understand your point of view.

Still, I must add that PP is a pretty ridiculous situation... If people were more responsible, there would be no need of it. Besides the fact that it gets so many donations, and money from the government, even though they are a business, not a charity.

Oh sure - our dependence on PP is symptomatic of a much wider problem where healthcare is concerned, but business or charity, until the disease is cured it is currently the only thing treating the symptoms (to use an apt analogy).

If only more diseases could be cured by nothing more than self-control.

...not sure what you mean by that, but ok.

He is implying the only thing that PP does is abortion (untrue)

It had occurred to me, but that's a whole other argument in a discussion that had up to that point been civil - so I thought I'd look the other way unless he pushed the point.
