If by "Christian love" you mean hatred & contempt...

Can we go ahead and award the most influential atheist of 2012?

All the vitriol these Christians can spew could never be enough to diminish the heroic actions of 16-year-old Jessica Ahlquist. Her courage is contagious. She stood up against her school and her community to fight for our rights, won her lawsuit and the admiration of many. But she's also endured an enormous amount of hatred/bullying, and has done so with poise and bravery. I've seen a lot of this kind of bullying when issues of church/state are called out, but these comments are some of the most hateful I've come across.

It is apparent that Christians only believe in tolerance so long as their religion is allowed to violate the constitution.

Well, I've grown tired of just being tolerated and I will not be tolerating the stomach-churning hatred that's continuously espoused by those doing the "tolerating."

These are those comments... some of them anyway.. I hope you're reading them on an empty stomach.

(If you haven't been following Jessica's story, Hemant over at Friendly Atheist has got all the details.)
