Several posters, gil included, have linked to disgusting right-wing sources at times simply because it pushed their pro-religion agenda. Some have the decency to self-delete once it's pointed out to them. Some don't.

Bottom line is, for a disappointingly large number of liberal Christians, they seem more upset by atheists questioning religion than by the right-wingers who actually have power and are trampling on our rights, enabled by the power of religion that the liberal believers themselves reinforce by demanding "respect" for their views.
