PET PEEVE

This is an example of one of my favorite pet peeves. (although in this case everything on the website makes it painfully obvious where this group is coming from) The continual use of the word Christian as if it describes an individual denomination not the big tent that it really is. That tent that covers groups from Old Order Amish to Unitarian Universalists. We've got Methodists, Presbyterians, nearly a dozen flavors of Baptists, Roman Catholics, other Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and groups that call themselves non denominational. Whatever that really means. It seems to mean just about anything the "pastor" of that particular group says it means.

You name it we got it. There are I don't know how many variations on Bible translations.

So, when you're using your faith as an excuse to do whatever it is that bigots do and claiming that you're protected by your "freedom of religion" let us know what flavor of the month your are. It'll save us all a lot of time.
