Pete nailed it.
Too many liberals get their views about Christianity from the NYT and Monty Python. As a Christian I am very aware of the many differing viewpoints within Christianity yet I have no trouble accepting that those views are "reasonable" and that thinking people can have different opinions.
You can disagree with someone without characterizing him as an ignorant moron. Really! It can be done.

Remember what Jesus said:
"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
and
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."
At first, I was surprised at the venom of the left towards Christians...but I guess hatred is the appropriate emotion. Same seems to be true of Islamists...hatred is the predominate thing.
