    CS Lewis was a science fiction writer as well. Among other things he foretold the geo-stationary satellite.

    If you can't be bothered to read the books, at least google first.

    It's "you're a fucking dork". And he's right. It kind of sticks out like sore thumb after looking at Apple's trailers which are done with considerable care and attention to detail. Makes it look like it was encoded by a rank amateur.

    Hmmm? The Crusades were a defense of territory historically owned by the Roman Empire peacefully for over a thousand years against its invasion and subjugation by Islamic hordes conquering and plundering their way out of Arabia.

    Just shut up. While that might be the truth, that "truth" no longer corresponds to the greater need that Islam be recognized as a religion of peace, and Christianity be recognized as an abusive, anti-intellectual philosophy which has done nothing but hold back human civilization.

    Get with the program. Christianity is no longer "cool". You can be an atheist (atheism is "cool" because that's like science and stuff) or you can be a Muslim (Islam is "cool" because they're willing to use force to fight against Western imperialism. No wait, Islam is cool because it is a non-violent religion of Peace. Or something.)

    But Christianity is for losers, and that is why Christians (you know, people like Newton, C.S. Lewis, etc.) haven't done anything to promote real advancement in science, philosophy, or the arts.

    Why is that Christianity is the only religion it is still ok to hate?
    two answers:
    1. it's not. particularly in the past five years, it's become quite a bit more than "okay" to hate Islam in many circles in America. and of course mainstream America still has the more subtle anti-Jewish sentiment, as well as the anti-things-we-don't-understand sentiment. (yes, i'm making an assumption that you're an american; i've never seen this sort of frustration from anyone else)
    2. second, we deserve it. i'm not even talking about the Crusades or the Inquisition (oy, Ratzinger. bloody friggin' hell). but America is, statistically, a Christian nation (no claim to Christianity being intentionally foundational to the country nor criticism of separation of church and state intended), as is our leadership; what have we done with it? we've got a president who describes his actions in the middle east, responsible for an estimated 100,000 civilian deaths as a "crusade"; we've got ministers preaching hate and condoning violence against homosexuals and doctors who practice abortion; we've got Falwell, Robertson, and, God help us, we've got Fred Phelps. we draw greater criticism because we have greater power and, therefore, responsibility. i believe people would be a lot more accepting of Christianity as understood by CS Lewis, Tolkien, most of America's founding fathers, and St. Francis, for example, if we would more consistently speak up against the perversion of the gospel into a message of hate.

    i'm very glad you wouldn't wish to be. i wish i could agree that institutionalized bigotry is dead, but i think it's just a little more hidden, and not very deeply.

    the far left antiwar crowd is far more annoying and intrusive with their proselytizing than any Christian group
    Why? Because they tend to expose the abject lies used to justify the deaths of 25 times as many innocent civilians as were killed on 9/11?

    Your attempt to place humanitarian ideals in opposition to your concept of Christianity exposes the true nature of your faith.
