I understand how you find some of the attitudes expressed here discouraging, but I suspect we are in the real majority. I think our opinions only appear to be in the minority, because many won't post anymore on this topic out of disgust over of the ferocity and downright nastiness of the reaction.
Like the Schiavo case, this story is bringing disillusionment in more than one way. Posters we'd thought we knew and respected have taken positions we would never have thought possible, and are engaging in surprisingly foul, ad hominem behavior. The coarsening of our culture and the infiltration of Leftist attitudes has infected even (some) conservatives.
My take on the whole schmeer is that this is healthy disillusionment. We are seeing some things, and some people, as they really are.
Exactly. Please know that this is a small group. The majority on FR agree with us in the fact that they are against a small group constantly attacking Christians who are very conservative in their philosophy.
They will make all kinds of snide comments, but just ignore them....they will eventually head over to the smoky backroom. I also heard that if you quote the bible it will run them off. just kidding!!!
