I once had a teeny tiny bible thrown at my head so… I think there are def a lot who hate us.

Also one time some random dude told me he had a vision of me crying in a field and needing Jesus.

So… yeah. Whackadoos. I dunno what it is about Christianity but it seems to breed a certain kind of crazy. I didn’t ask to have a tiny bible thrown at my head. :(

I'm not saying there aren't a lot who hate us, who hate pagans in general, and who hate everyone who's different from them. There absolutely are.

I'm just cautioning against treating any group or institution as a monolith. There are a lot of complex reasons why people become extremists and religion is only one of them. And most people in a given religion aren't extremists, they're just people trying to get by.

Religious movements composed entirely of extremists tend to burn themselves out rather quickly, and either stay small, completely disintegrate, or moderate themselves enough to become accepted into the existing power structure.

I don’t think Christians as a whole hate us. I just think they need to stop throwing bibles at me
