I don't want Christians to shut up.

But having talked to a gazillion of them in real life, not the faux pretenders on the internet, not one of them was upset with the jokes.

What I would like, but will never have, given the nature of the internet, is for people to fully understand that we can say we are anything on the internet. But it doesn't mean that's what we are.

For example, the book for which Jim RObinson wrote the foreward, Hillary's Secret War, details how the left comes to sites like this one and pretends to be Christian or conservative but in reality they are paid opinion shapers.

They cause dissent among the good conservatives who have been here for years. And lead the more naive among us.

Since I've talked to people in real life, most of whom are Baptist, and they didn't have a problem with the First Lady's jokes, then I'm assuming that most of these people on here aren't what they are professing to be.

Oh, I know now that I'll see a bunch of posts professing they they are "real" and they are "concerned". But, it's the internet. I'm Queen Elizabeth.

Okay, so if someone disagrees with you on something as stupid as whether Laura's joke was in poor taste or not, they must automatically be a phony Christian, a liberal in disguise, and a member of the Taliban. Makes no sense Peach. Your outrage was stupid. You keep bringing up issues that haven nothing to do with this thread, so I'm thinking you realize your attack on Christians and name calling rants were silly. I wasn't bothered by the jokes, but it didn't send me into a name calling tirade to hear that others were. You obviously have many other issues with religious people that cloud your ability to remain sane in some threads.

I can't imagine Jim Robinson has taken a good hard look at his site lately because if he has one would have to conclude he condones the current atmosphere.

So many people are starting to use words like "creepy" and "scary" to describe this site, and they're right to do so.

I hope the owner and moderators take a step back and look at what's going on, but I gather they have and approve of the dominant tone of late.
