There are many ways self-described Christians in this country have made
life miserable for people under their jurisdiction, through banning
abortions, cutbacks in social services, cutbacks in assistance programs,
et cetera. That's how in this country Christians are the religion of
hate and intolerance.

I am calling a false equivalency here.

It is like people who conflate anyone with Hitler.


Are you planning to autograph a line of coat hangers?


Wrong guy
There are people who think abortion is a form of genocide but I am not
one of them

Again it is still a false equivalency.

Coat hangers are not gas chambers


Women who need abortions for serious health issues and can't get one
because of regulations passed by "Christian" state governors and
legislators, and who resort to shady abortionists or coat hangers might
argue that with you. A vet who commits suicide because his "Christian"
state governor or legislature decided the rich need a tax cut more than
he needs a mental health clinic might argue that with you, if he could.
A small child who is hungry because "Christian" lawmakers cut his
family's food stamps might argue that with you.

It's a matter of relativity. In some Islamic countries, the mass killing
is done by religious terrorists. In this country, the mass killing is
done by gun nuts.
