Bee did not say one word about Boo being on that group. What Bee did was express what she would feel if she were a member of that group.

Then Boo decided to take it that Bee was drawing conclusions about him.
Nope...the implication was VERY obvious...

Here's a dumb question prove it...

Why did you bring up Christianity AT ALL?...

Surely there MUST'VE been some reason for you to start a sentence with "If I were a Christian..." when the subject of Christianity was NEVER mentioned by anyone...

Go ahead...quick make up a reason...

The question becomes 'why would any Christian think this is a good idea?'

Because the original post was about Christmas cards!

Not Holiday cards or New Year's cards or Solstice cards or Hanukkah cards or greeting cards or...

And the post also also said "Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it."

The entire idea was obviously a response to the impression that ACLU is part of the imaginary campaign to "take Christ out of Christmas."

That is why I brought up Christians. Who else would have a bone to pick with the ACLU about Christmas?

Why point out Christians?...

Why didn't you say "'why would any gay person think this is a good idea?" or "'why would any Muslim think this is a good idea?"...

I would find the same humor in sending the Klan a bunch of MLK pamphlets or sending Larry Craig a bunch of Folsom Street posters...

Hell!...I'd get the same laugh if I learned Pete Best was sent 50 Beatles CDs...

I point out Christians because the subject is Christmas.

Stop being obtuse when you know better.

With your belief as a Christian, how to you feel about it?

o...n...c...e...a...g...a...i...n...

I have beliefs, but I don't have beliefs "as a Christian"...I have beliefs as cnredd...

If they coincide with Christian beliefs, it is unintentional...

If they do not coincide with Christian beliefs, it is unintentional...

I've said it twice before...Maybe a third time will make it through...

You find it hard because of pre-conceived notions...

Why didn't you say "'why would any gay person think this is a good idea?" or "'why would any Muslim think this is a good idea?"...

Because nobody suggested sending gay cards or Muslim cards? Just another guess here

I would find the same humor in sending the Klan a bunch of MLK pamphlets or sending Larry Craig a bunch of Folsom Street posters...

So basically you just get a kick out of making people unhappy and possibly hurt their feelings, if at all possible. Right?
Charming.

Guess I was right - just a nasty, mean-spirited sense of humor. Oh, well - it takes all kinds to make up a world...and without the mean ones, we wouldn't recognize the nice onces, I guess.
