I love the DAILY KOS. I think Markos has started something really special here, but I find the comments to be so intolerant that I have decided to sign off for good.
I may still read the diaries, but I will never post a comment or rely on the comments of you people anymore. I find most of you to be quite intolerant of Christians here. I am a devout follower of Christ and I am also a Liberal left wing Christian, however,the posts here are often not tolerant of religious people. I have read snarky comments about Christians as though we are crazy or just plain nuts. Frankly, these comments are intolerant. If you subsitute blacks or gays into some of your comments or posts then we could very well be on a right wing blog.
What is wrong with believing in the scripture? I am actually pro choice because I have yet to see anything in the Bible that refers to when Life actually begins except for Genesis 1:1 when God created Adam. When God created Adam, he blew life into him.
Now, some of you would make fun of me for believing in the Divine creation of Life. Yep I believe it. Do I think it shoudl be taught in public school. Nope. But why do most of you guys think I am crazy for believing this? Why is it that you cannot accept that I believe in the power of God and that Jesus died for me and also believe in liberal policies? I believe that God made us stewards of the earth and that we should keep it clean. I believe in helping the poor, I am against war. I am against discrimination against Gays, minorities etc. I may not agree with Gay marriage but I will be damned if I want to block people who love each other from loving each other. So, why is it that I feel the hate on here from people that seem so intolerant to Christianity? At the same time we all profess to love eachother.
I am out of here. God bless and I will pray for you all, even if you don't want it.

signing off...Nia
Update***** wow, some of the remarks are very harsh and confirm my reason for signing off. Some are kind and understanding. Obviously, if I come on the KOS, I believe in liberal Christian theology i.e environmentalism, gay rights, human rights, anti discrimination, peace, etc. However, most of your responses have confimred my opinion. God Bless KOS. Love ya anyway
