Stephan: Christianity, at least the fundamentalist segment of it, has increasingly become a repository of hate, the very antithesis of Jesus' teachings. And much of this hate centers in the Christian clergy, and finds its wellspring in the seminaries that train these men. I see little difference between these pastors and the Taliban's Mullahs, except they wear different clothes.
If the people of this man's church had a real commitment to Jesus they would throw him out of their community. If his denomination had any integrity they would defrock him. In my view neither the man, the congregation, nor the other pastors present when these remarks were made are Christians. These are the same people who fuel the trend of willful ignorance.
