I admit, I'm not neutral on the subject, but reading Mrs. Huttsell's words about demanding rights for Christianity reminds me of people I grew up with who loudly proclaimed how oppressed they were as Christians, in this majority Christian country. *sigh* (And whenever someone complains about "political correctness" I pretty much figure they're complaining about having to treat other people as equals rather than inferiors, and evaluate their other opinions accordingly.)
(I also disagree with the idea that the people who give Christianity a bad name are just rogue individuals -- during my time as a Christian I saw a great deal that was systematic that I think was dangerous and deleterious, from the insistence that Christianity is the only valid faith onwards -- but that's another argument and I've written too much in your journal already for today.)
I'm sorry for the stress this must be causing you, but the look into your faith and how and why you chose it is deeply fascinating and really wonderful. Thank you!
