Obviously I'm not talking about all Christians, but there's something to be said for not wanting to be around those who are morally bankrupt. I say this because of some thoughts I've had recently:

First, I think if the only thing preventing you from killing or stealing or raping is your belief in a person God that rewards and punishes, then you simply don't know the difference between right and wrong and all you're capable of doing is what you're told.

I was listening to the ACA's (Atheist Community of Austin's) 1.5 hour cable show on Google Video the other day. They were discussing the Dominionists, and a woman- a Christian- called in and said that clearly the Dominionists didn't represent Christianity but that God would strike anyone who falsely represents Christianity down and no human intervention was necessary. In other words, this woman got the point that fascists are trying to take over the country and said "Well, God will stop it." She wouldn't lift a finger because of her faith.

Like prayer would have stopped the Nazis.

Well that made me mad. "First they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist, and then then they came for the Jews, but I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for, and there was no one left to speak for me."

Sound familiar?

So why the hell shouldn't I be prejudiced against Christians, with this kind of morally bankrupt crap? Someone tells me they're a Christian, and I don't feel comfortable until I know that they're not THAT kind of Christian, which unfortunately I have to assume to be the default position.
