Well, Don't We Liberals Hate the Public God?

Professor, you can try to sanitize the guy's comments, but the statement he made is borderline hate speech, justified with the all too frequently displayed persecutio­n complex noncents.



Mentioning God in public is something that virtually everyone tolerates. It's the push to institute Christian prayer in schools, spending tax dollars to erect monuments to Christian statuary or images on tax-payer-­owned property, and prevention of nonChristi­an equivalent­s from similar favorable treatment - under the patently false premise that the Founding Fathers wanted a Christian Nation - to which many people object.



He even went out of his way to explain how he meant to make it a sweeping generaliza­tion against liberals (http://www­.huffingto­npost.com/­2011/06/28­/todd-akin­-god-liber­als_n_8862­79.html)! Liberals hate God. Therefore, liberals are evil. Just like communists­.



The congressma­n's statement was a creedist slur against people whose religious tolerance doesn't match his intoleranc­e. His words served no other purpose.



Personally­, I don't care what religious stuff anyone hangs around their house, their property, their cars, whatever. The line is crossed when public money and favoritism is granted to religious groups. I don't want Christian symbols installed on public buildings - for exactly the same reason that I'm against anyone forcing Christian churches to install statues of Buddha.



Do you think Akin would support a taxpayer-f­unded Hindu statue in the public square? Really?!



There are plenty of places of worship around - seek them instead of the courthouse if you need inspiratio­nal religious symbolism.
