You said, "i love the fact that the christians are finally being seen for what they really are....." This is a generalization that virtually all Christians are bad and/or doing evil.

I wish that were so. Liberal Christians such as John Kerry and others have argued strongly against Bush's policies, however. The Pope asked Catholics to join him in a fast for peace, directly before the Iraqi war, and millions of Catholics were involved in it.

There are many Christians who object strongly to Bush's policies .

Another slur. You're now saying Christians accept war and terror so long as it fills their churches and presumably their money bags.
