The Koran will be recited openly in the halls of justice in this nation before the Ten Commandments will ever be tolerated. It isn't religion per se that liberals and atheists despise--but religion founded on Judeao-Christian principles..

Have you ever read the book Bias? It talks about a lot of different issues, but one was a real eye-opener. It concerned racial issues, especially affirmative action, quotas, race-based entitlements, etc. Basically that whole category. The author (an admitted Democrat) raised the point that modern liberals (as opposed to himself, which he termed a "classical" liberal) base their opinions vis-a-vis this issue on guilt. The way he put it, they're white, they're glad they're white, and for that they feel guilty. He asserts that they try to (perhaps subconciously) assuage their guilt by trying to lavish things on people who are underprivileged (or are at least seen that way). Could this be the same phenomenon? Liberal Christians (primarily white Christians) who feel guilty for being in the religious (and racial) majority and are trying to assuage their guilt by cutting their own religion down and "uplifting" the "minority religions"? Still sounds like psycholigically sick behavior to me, but...could this be their twisted reasoning?
