Damn if laughing at a bad news network is enough to "intimidate" you into silence. Then maybe you should find another career. I mean, you're in the public sphere. No one gets away in that field without things like being laughed at.
Because listening to the point of view of people who disagree with them is such a defining characteristic of Christians and Conservatives. No. We just want to be who we are and be respected. We don't care what you believe. If you can manage to express it in a way other than condemning people who don't share your world view, you might even be interesting to us. Yeah, we know, we know, we're all going to hell. And it scares you that doesn't scare us. Don't worry about defending your faith. Live it in a way that shows me what value it brings to you. You don't need to have 17 babies or refuse to bake cakes. How about showing you care for the less fortunate? You know, like Jesus did?
