Can someone tell me what it is that everyone has against the Christian Coalition? I don't know anything about them, except what 1/2 says, and he doesn't exactly seem to be an unbiased source. What laws have they attempted to pass?

If you want to know about the Christian Coalition, their methods and ideals, watch the 700 Club and check out stuff by (and about) Pat Robertson. Although he claims not to be affiliated with them directly, he is essentially their spokesman.

Oooh, it occurs to me that myself and First are here at, essentially, the same time. As such, we should hurry and gangbang the Christian Coalition. I'll go over to my sources and get the facts, he can spew hate. That's how I like doing things, although I prefer the spewing part personally.

Spew hate? I don't have to spew hate. The facts speak for themselves.
We've discussed this before. My venom is not for Christians, but for hypocritical, frightening would-be Christianity Legislators, such as Mr. Robertson.
And for God-As-Advertised, my attacks against the concept of which are not truly vituperative, but rather heatedly argumentative, as you will see if you really bother to look at them.
"The Bible is shite, and so are Christians" would be hate. I do not say this.
"The Bible is solely man-made, fallible, contradictory, and unreliable, and Christians have been guilty of atrocities, and those who did not participate this are still guilty for not repudiating those who did, despite their claims to the moral high ground" is highly argumentative, but it isn't hate.
"Pat Robertson is a bad man" may be either. Study the page I posted above, paying careful attention to his business dealings, quotes, agenda, and ties to dictators, and get back to me.

But how can he be biased if he is asking a question?

Whoa, were you unaware that you had your caps lock on, or did you intend to yell at me? I'm not trying to accuse or defend anyone of anything. I simply seek information, and I thought that the subject seemed to have the potential to involve insulting a group of people, so I put it in the flameboard.
As for Robertson, never have I seen someone so scary. It's people like this that give us Christians a bad name. 'Bout the only thing in that list that he was right about was the part about wives being subserviant. That he did have biblically correct. The reviewer overreacted to it, though. The rest was complete garbage. Maybe someone should give this guy a good lesson in both constitutional law AND in the teachings of Christ. He doesn't seem to know much about either.
If he's representative of the rest of his group, I guess my question has been answered. Thanks, First.

Right, so if, arguably, the most Christian of Christian people here: Omega, thinks that Patty-boy is a gobshite, then I think we can safetly say, with no worry about being corrected, that he's a manipulative, arrogant, self-rightious, arse-faced tosser of the highest order.

How did the reviewer overreact to it? I didn't think he was harsh enough.
Y'know, I'm so upset that I'm not a member of your great, and enlightened religion.

Hey, since when is Omega more Christian than me? (just kidding)
