No, yeah.

Sure. These are not the commenter's claims, though, so it's odd that they're what you're litigating.
"We did a charitable thing as an expression of / motivated by our faith" is orthogonal to whether some portion of US Christians are either parochial in their moral philosophy or even not particularly good people.
Claiming otherwise doesn't make it look like the they're the one with a hobby horse or over-evangelical approach.
- inferiorhuman 8y agoThese are not the commenter's claims, though, so it's odd that they're what you're litigating. It's sure implied by that wording. I think the term that's en vogue these days is microaggression. The exact words "because only christians would do something empathetic on a first date" weren't used, but the implication is there.
