(Ed. note: This weekly feature is not meant to insult or impugn anyone’s personal beliefs…or lack of same. It’s meant to highlight the hypocrisy inherent in so much of modern Christianity. As Gandhi once said (slightly paraphrased), “It’s not Christianity I fear. It’s Christians I’m afraid of.” Remember, when Fascism comes, it will be wrapped in a flag, endorsed by Fox Noise Channel, and carrying a Bible.)

Catholics Face Vocal ‘Mutiny’ Over Teachings On Gay Marriage. No matter how you care to twist it, Jesus never taught that discrimination or repression based on who one loves is acceptable.
Hypocrisy: While We Condemn Quran Burnings, Drone Strikes Continue Unchecked. When you do it, it’s the worst sort of anti-Christian zealotry and aggression imaginable. When we do it, it’s standing up for the teachings of Jesus Christ.
