Only $10,900,000?

(CNN) -- A federal jury in Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday awarded $10.9 million to a father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by members of a fundamentalist church carrying signs blaming soldiers' deaths on America's tolerance of homosexuals.

I wish there was a mechanism that could shut down "churches" like this permanently. Such bigotry and hatred.

It's no wonder that people have become so cynical and jaded when the term "Christian" is used. Consider this quote from the newly-released book UnChristian:

“Christianity has become bloated with blind followers who would rather repeat slogans than actually feel true compassion and care. Christianity has become marketed and streamlined into a juggernaut of fearmongering that has lost its own heart.”

The only bright side is that it should be obvious that these meglomaniacs do not represent Jesus in any way, shape or form.
