While I do not celebrate Easter, a story about Christians like THESE warms my heart ever so much! http://douglassblvdcc.com/blog/ TL;DR A church in Arkansas has voted to not sign any straight marriage certificates until gays get the same right to marry.

@roygbiv I love stuff like that. While I'm not strictly religious - I went to a service today just for the sense of community that shows up on holidays. It's a nice crowd to be surrounded with in general.

@haganbmj Yeah, I like Something Positive's story arc on the judgemental ones who give all Christians a bad name: http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp10042006.shtml

@haganbmj In fact, so as to not insult those who actually follow the teachings of Christianity and don't use the faith to promote bigotry & hate, My friends & I will refer to the hate-filled ones as 'Xians' instead of as Christians. The reason being i if their Christ isn't in their actions, why have it in their name?

@roygbiv Right - I don't like to group or judge. I'm a fairly tolerant and accepting guy. That being said, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, and can approach these in their own ways. There'll always be both sides of a group (as you say, the Xians and the 'Christians').
