Unfortunately, anytime someone presents themselves as a Christian, people jump to the conclusion that they are fanatical and intolerant when that is generally not the case.
For those who wonder how references to God can be included in much of our American government, the founding fathers were predominently believers whose families came to this country to worship freely in whatever way they chose. When our constitution was written, there was some discussion whether or not to include a reference to God. They chose to include it based on the fact that the majority of people in the colonies were believers. More importantly, the separation of church and state does not say that our government cannot make reference to a diety. It states that there cannot be any government sanctioned or sponsored religion.

It works both ways.
If you want tolerance for your religion, whatever it may be, you MUST have tolerance for all other religions, or those who do not believe in religions.
Believe how you choose. Thats freedom.
Accusing a company of supporting an agenda from a sample that was downloaded is just silly.
Anytime you voice an opinion, you stand the chance of being made to feel foolish. Its the risk you take.
As far as I know, political correctness hasn't made it mandatory to agree with anything anyone says.
yet.
