This belongs here, even though **Ulfrieda** is not, AFAIK, in the news.

I was raised an American Baptist (not the batshit fundie side, regular ordinary Baptists), so I can speak for the inside view.

My best friend in grade school was/is an atheist. It kind of bothered me, that he was like a more decent person than I. We had the idea instilled in us that being a Christian was the only right way to be, you could not be a good person otherwise. Yet, here was a person who demonstrated to me that that teaching was wrong.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So the word you are alluding to is _literally_ canon in religious circles. You are trying to twist us up by saying that we should not regard that type of otherer by the same metric with which they are othering us.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No, the _those people_ attitude is wrong. And anyone who subscribes to that attitude deserves to be tarred with their own broad brush. Just fuck off with your “_don’t abuse Christians for regarding non-Christians as lesser beings_” bullshit. It is not working for us.
