Michael Vick would be proud


It's magazines like this that continually ease this editor's former disenchantment with the Religion of his youth. With a nod to our favorite Atlanta celebrity (pictured here), this article's title appropriately depicts some Christians (emphasis on SOME) as attack dogs for the faith.

A quick quote in summation: "The angriest websites [in criticism of Christians] are those belonging to small, but disturbingly visible, fundamentalist Protestant groups outraged that fellow Protestants appear to be holding out a welcoming hand to Catholics or Orthodox Christians."

This is confusing in two readily apparent but disturbing ways: 1.) The most harsh criticism of Christianity is coming from insiders, and 2.) These Christians are not criticizing for drinking, or swearing, or something like small and nitpicky like that, but for being ecumenical and trying to unite Christianity as a whole.
