In that latter category, Weinstein acolyte J. Chorazy has been sending novel-length emails to this site for years. They&#8217;ve long since been auto-deleted, but every now and then one sneaks through the filters. His persistence &#8212; particularly in the face of being completely ignored <em>for years<\/em> &#8212; is&#8230;interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s this gem from another dear reader:\u00a0 <!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You Christian Taliban [redacted]tards need to learn what true religious freedom means, and that you can not and will not force your stupid [redacted]ing 2000 year old beliefs on everyone else.

Sad part is it&#8217;s impossible to know to what he&#8217;s even referring (besides Donald Trump, of course). That said, he hits Mikey Weinstein&#8217;s main talking points, including the blanket assumption that Christians want to &#8220;force&#8221; their religion on others.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that comes from a community so weak-willed and bigoted it claims a Bible <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2016\/08\/24\/air-force-major-steve-lewis-can-keep-his-bible-on-his-desk\/\">sitting\u00a0on a desk<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2016\/04\/18\/congressman-freedom-advocates-object-to-powmia-bible-removals\/\">a table<\/a> is &#8220;forcing&#8221; religion on other people.<\/p>\n<p>Even Mikey Weinstein probably isn&#8217;t so stupid as to actually <em>believe<\/em> that. Instead, it&#8217;s little more than a legalese framework to obscure a bigoted intent &#8212; ultimately, the official restriction of the Christian faith and those who practice it.\u00a0 To warrant state action against religion, Weinstein has to present the benign as nefarious &#8212; even if takes fictional machinations to do so.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a time-honored practice that met its height in Europe in the 1930s.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s hate mail or hateful actions, that which motivates those who loathe Christians and their faith is a sad insight to the state of their heart.<\/p>\n<p>Predictable, but sad nonetheless.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-share=\"true\" data-show-faces=\"true\" data-size=\"small\" data-action=\"like\" data-layout=\"standard\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><strong>ADVERTISEMENT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- blogpost --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"2728423835\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6450825356098669\"><\/ins><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn&#8217;t take much to generate hate mail anymore.
