"Gay bashing is not just an opinion, it is an assault. Just as the Klan did, religious fundamentalists have a right to believe that homosexuality is a sin. They even have a right to preach a message of hate. But when they harass people in public, it is time for Christians to rise to challenge their intolerance. We have an obligation to protect our neighbors from harassment and slander, especially when it is done in our name." -- Rev. Jim Rigby, "Real Christians Don't Gay Bash", 2006-07-12

I'm always amazed to hear a real Christian message. So few practice what they preach. Fewer still preach an inclusive message.
One of my greatest gripes toward Christianity, and indeed what turned me from the faith, was the preaching by the majority of the message that "we are right and they are wrong, therefore it's OK to discriminate against them", whether that be gays, blacks, Muslims, Shintos, you name it.
