Suing God (honest, it's a lawsuit that has really been filed)

[Will Linden]

Well, if he "criticizes Christians", he must have a full schedule of 
criticizing to do.

  I am continually baffled by how Christian-baiters complain of being 
oppressed by a domineering "majority", while simultaneously talking as 
though "Christians" were something weird and alien, not normally to be met 
with ... nothing to do with those real, live people in the street.
