Reply #73: People are overly sensitive about their religion. [View All]

The sad fact is that many Christians in the Democratic Party (and otherwise) feel that any critism, even constructive, of their faith constitutes being persecuted. For example, one time me and my uncle (both non-Christians) went to see a movie back in 2004. The movie theater didn't have enough space on their board, so they put the titles "Passion of the Christ" and "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" next to each other. We started joking about how Christs' true passion was dirty dancing, only to be rewarded by a visit from the manager telling us to kindly shut up for fear of offending persecuted Christians.
But I'm losing my thread. The fact is that most religious people see their religion as absolute truth, unable to bend or be made fun of in a good nature. For most born-again Christians, it's a reality that God created the world in 7 days and that they have to be readying themselves for the apocalypse. You try to enlighten them, and you may end up on the wrong side of a puck to the stomach.
Also, I'd like to know why the rest of us are exempt from the war between athiest and Christian. Any thoughts?
