The problem is you're agreeing with a very limited scope of an argument almost as narrow as the ficticious group of people he was arguing against.
TS6 ran wild with assumptions, without even understanding the argument of the people who had done something so wrong.
I'm not bothered by Christianity. I've offered up much respect for the values of Christians, even on this site. People will go out of their way to try and make it out into the worst possible thing, but it's bullshit.
The problem I have is with certain groups of Christians. The ones honoring Michaels, by default, are more or less the same assholes who will buy anything with "Christian" rock on it. I've seen Christians by occult/pagan items, simply because they turned their brains off the minute they entered a Christian shop.
Christian atheletes groups are part of the whole "christian X" groups I have a problem with. Ironically the YMCA used to be one.
You know who doesn't understand the religion I'm "bashing?" The millions of "Christian" music lovers who pop in POD and don't understand why "Without Jah, Nothing" is so ironic. The millions of people who use Christ to preach hate and war. The people who segregate themselves by treating Christianity as "above" this world, instead of "apart," as the Bible actually states. For FUCK'S SAKE! Even Pat Roberts gets that, and he thinks there's a dyke conspiracy to promote abortion!
And what bothers me most about Michaels isn't his attitude (Though he's had problems even recently, we don't need to go back to before he "found God"), it's the fact that he's selling offensive Merchandise. It's offensive because he's cashing in on Christ. Nut naw. I'm anti-Christian instead. It's the cross that bothers me, not the merchandising of religion, or these organisations that are pointless, or the need to segregate yourself to actually get recognised (especially for Michaels, but hey, he likes to milk Jesus, so he probably welcomes this).
