The trouble I see here is that you are confusing the CHURCH with God. Yes that's exactly what the Church wants you to do and, it's working.
I may not be Christian but, I have no problem with most Christians, I do have a major problem with lots of churches though. To me, maybe we all turn the the same higher power under different names and, different interpretation (with a few exceptions). It isn't the people that are the problem, it the rhetoric, propaganda and, in many cases doctrine that is not strictly from the Bible.

Always a surprise to see that some churches have not understood the commandment that says you cannot worship God and Mammon... Some American churches (cults?) seem to lean way too far towards the worship of money. Hint, hint!

They most certainly are not a minority. If they were a minority then they'd all be reviled like Westboro Baptist (who weren't reviled for being antigay, only when they became anti-soldier and anti-US), their media wouldn't be so popular, and Prop 8 never would've been an issue in California (passed by majority vote, and nearly every commercial and every person who said they voted for it mentioning God, Jesus, and/or Bible).
Nevertheless, this very recent election has relieved me a lot and convinced me that it's only a matter of time before we gain our rights. I really was scared we might be heading to becoming a Christian Iran but I see their time is passing now. And Obama has changed, too. Originally he said he couldn't support gay marriage (though he did civil unions) because of his Christian beliefs but now he not only changed his mind but did so publicly and now stands for full equality instead of just less inequality.

why must Christ be held responsible for assholes like this who have twisted what he said to their own means?
who do you think would be the first people to be upset by him if he comes back, man?
probably the same people he pissed off the first time, the religious establishment

If anyone blamed Christ, I missed it. Personally, I have serious doubts that such a prophet or teacher as described in the Bible and Koran even existed at all (and I certainly don't believe he was divine even if he did), so the personage of Christ is completely irrelevant to me, just as I imagine it is to many others who don't believe.
I could ALSO criticize Jesus (as portrayed in the Bible, but also the Bible that portrays him as well which then questions if Jesus even existed at all, even as a mere carpenter) if I wanted, but that's a completely different topic and derailment of this thread where Jesus (as a person, not a modern belief) is wholly irrelevant.

Sooner or later a gay pagan leader will emerge and force the planet to behave like human beings. Until then we willwhine and declare ourselves members of victims' rights groups. I hurt more than you. I hurt more than me. i hurt more than everyone. Vote for me and I will guarantee to hurt your family.
The media and politicians know the world will only get better when we make masturbation illegal. They know we will have achieved true peace. The guy I loved died 15 years ago. people think it is wonderful he no longer has orgasms. Fuck you. He had thousands when he was alive and I shared a lot of them.
Fuck everybody. Let's have a cold war and force 7 billion people to kill each other. Obama will weep and moan and say how sorry he is. Hey Obama, my finger hurts from typing. Kiss it and make it better. By the way, that is my foot being aimed at your ugly Hawaiian ass. I despise you because you are American. I have no doubt you lick ass in Washington.
