Funny. I thought Rangel, and I were having a rational discussion. I believe we even came to some common ground in our views. Perhaps, you should read the OP, and find if there is some part of it with which you disagree, and explain why, instead of just shitting on our discussion.Both to differing degrees, it's a highly politicized issue, some choose to view it a pervasive, others like you choose to view it differently, both views are highly subjective based on pre-existing bias which obviously leads to self rationalizations. As with most highly politicized issues the reality is frequently somewhere in the middle.And who do you porpose are the ones who are "rationalising"? Me, or those who insist that "America is growing hostile to Christians"?Not entirely sure what you mean by that.Well done, I love a good rationalization.
Let me help then.

Fair warning RINGEL05- You are engaging in what you suspect is a rational discussion, but I'll bet you lose some hair before you throw your hands in the air and give up.
