I'll say it here. Yes, and as I pointed out, most of the people *I* know aren't big scary evil christians. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. Like I said earlier, simply because I don't know any terrorists by name doesn't mean they don't exist either.
Jesus may have said "He who believes in me will never die" but every christian who has made a nuisance in my life (And no, I don't know their names, but you see them.. they knock on your doors, they write angry letters in the press, they make theirselves known) say "Believe in him or you'll burn." And my argument isn't with Christians who actually follow the word of Jesus so much as those who don't.
You want me to look at the people in my life and I suggest to you that that is NOT a fair cross-section of Christians. I know a handful of Christians and there are far far far more than that. So if I really want a good idea how the typical person (of any race, religion, sex etc.) thinks, how else am I supposed to pick it out but through the media, hmm?
I also suggest you look up at my comments to ecwoodburn about why I can't believe in the JudeoChristian god. Yes, there might be a silver lining to the constant barrage of violence and stupidity, but I fail to believe that an all-good and all-knowing god can't do better than this.
