"Galileo is not currently in the news.
Aren't you embarrassed to be forced to compare Christianity from the middle ages to the current dark and murdering state of islam today?"
Not at all. That was exactly my point.
I was not poking fun at the RCC. I was poking fun at all of Christianity. Don't feel so special.
I can understand that a number of you would feel persecuted at the moment, because we are under a physical and cultural attack. Go figure. /sarcasm
I prefer our Judeo/Christian tradition in this country. Our secularization and multi-culturalization of society has largely been a disaster. I don't like any religion that wants to establish itself as a state religion or wants to convert me at the point of a sword.
I do, however support the Constitution which gives us freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
