    Chloe ... again

    Unlike Dr. Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Donohue, Bush, and other talking heads, true Christians are typically more interested in actually living our lives and having a direct, positive impact on those around us than in telling the world how great we are.

    Chloe, do you not see how bigoted (and ignorant) you are? I don't use the word "ignorant" in a name-calling sense, either, but in it's literal sense: you have no idea what you're talking about. You're condemning people on caricatures, not on anything they've actually said or done. Find me a single quote from any of these men "telling the world how great [they] are" and I'll grant your point.

    In the meantime, though, you're telling the world how great you are because you're not like them.

    I can tell you from the one example I'm most familiar with that Dr. Dobson has had waaaay more "positive, direct impact" on people around him than you ever will.

    Doctor, heal thyself.
