I'm not a fan of extremists of any stripe. Before you blame the left you might look at how the right has reacted to The Pope's visit.

I think it is rather hard to think of either religious group as a monolithic bloc. Just like saying all Catholics bugger little boys. Of course we like the narratives that fit our world view, so that is how we interpret it. Nutters on either said who want to force their convictions on me bum me out.
I don't think the "left" demonizes Christianity as you imply. We'd like the Kim Davis' of the world to do their job. But, to imply that Christians are somehow treated poorly is inaccurate. I'm a left Christian in the Bible Belt and I giggle at those on the facebook talking about how Christians are mistreated. There is a fringe in all parties that don't represent the whole well.
One of Yalls very own Libs on this board goes out of his way to Laugh at and Criticize Christianity Sayin they want to Force their Belifes on others, My Point is Mooslums are even MORE adamant about forcing their beliefs , Yet they are Supported strongly by the Libs

Which lib? I think the "libs" think all should be treated fairly under the Constitution. We also see that there are X billion Muslims in the world and the fanatics are a small percentage. We also see that the "shock and awe" helped build up the fanatics. The actions of the 9/11 terrorists accomplished EXACTLY what they wanted to accomplish - to draw the US into a ground war so that the civilian casualties would lead to more jahadists. 14 years later and we're still there. It's like we were Rommel and the evil guy was Patton on the hill with the binoculars. "I read your book you sonofabitch!"
Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

So conservatives are being called out for criticizing the Pope? The same Pope that has been the target of leftists for decades due to the Catholic Church's stance on abortion, gay marriage, divorce? Just a tad hypocritical to call out conservatives when the left has vilified the Pope incessantly for ever. As another poster on here stated, the only religion that has escaped the wrath of the secular progressives in this country has been Islam. Which based on their positions regarding women's rights, gay rights, equal rights for non-Muslims, makes that even more perplexing.
Funny to see the left now all in for the Pope. The same Pope that has shown a egregious misunderstanding of some very important issues. His concern for the poor rings hollow when analyzing his devotion to the climate change debate. Does he not understand the elimination of coal will cause electric costs to skyrocket, affecting the poor more than anyone? Obama would love $5.00 a gallon gasoline prices, but what would that do to the poor, many to drive long distances to get to work?
The Pope is for unfettered immigration. So he obviously does not understand that the demands on social services would jeopardize social programs for everyone, as debt would rise to very dangerous levels.

I'm fairly sure anything I said about Muslims could be applied to Christians and vice versa most of the time.
Anyone is free to play pretend, just leave me out of it.
