Bakker, Brown: What the hell happened to Christianity?

So when did the focus of Christianity shift from the unconditional love and acceptance preached by Christ to the hate and condemnation spewed forth by certain groups today? Some say it was during the rise of Conservative Christianity in the early 1980s with political action groups like the Moral Majority. Others say it goes way back to the 300s, when Rome’s Christian Emperor Constantine initiated a set of laws limiting the rights of Roman non-Christians. Regardless of the origin, one thing is crystal clear: It’s not what Jesus stood for.

Falwell’s Flub

Christofascists whine and scream until they get their way and a public school starts letting them insert religious propaganda into kids’ take-home papers. Now they’re whining and screaming because it turns out that, if you let one religion do that, you have to let all religions do that.

Intelligent Design Sort

The probability of the original input list being in the exact order it’s in is 1/(n!). There is such a small likelihood of this that it’s clearly absurd to say that this happened by chance, so it must have been consciously put in that order by an intelligent Sorter.
