The Left has been de-establishing that common moral underpinning since the Bolshevik Revolution. Academe carries that torch proudly. If they succeed and kill Christianity in this country, there will be no one to stop the radical Muslims from beheading each and every one of them.

You mean that despite liberals somehow being the most powerful force in US politics and being imminently about to destroy your relgion, you're actually /protecting/ us dirty liberals from the dirty Muslims at the door with your fundamentalism?
Aw geez guys, you shouldn't have.
First, let me point out that IF academe wished to kill Christianity they would be equally interested in killing Islam and most other religions.
Second, only the stupid, un-educated and/or paranoid are afraid of academics.
Let me address that post's many epic fails on a point-by-point basis.
1. Well over 90% of westerners who hold forth on Communism are singularly unqualified to do so. This guy is no exception.
2. The left has a far stronger moral underpinning than the religious right, many of whose followers admit that if it wasn't for their faith they'd be out killing, stealing and raping with glee. God help us if any of them have a crisis of faith - no wonder they're so scared of atheists!
3. Nothing and nobody will destroy Christianity in the US or anywhere else, at least in the foreseeable future, and academia (not a homogeneous group - all that academics have in common is that they're employed by institutions of higher education) isn't out to do so. Where do professors of theology fit into the scheme, incidentally?
4. Muslims, radical or otherwise, would have no problem with the west if it wasn't for our governments' imperialistic policies and tacit support for Israeli aggression against Palestine.
@Papabear: Second, only the stupid, un-educated and/or paranoid are afraid of academics.
I object! I am neither stupid, or un-educated, and I'm scared to death of academics!
Oh, wait, you said paranoid, too. Well, um...err..nevermind...
The Left has been de-establishing that common moral underpinning since the Bolshevik Revolution.
Was that when they established the very first country in History that was designed to not have religion as part of the Government?
I think you'll find that was the American Revolution...
Hey! Who keeps reminding the Freepers to breath? Quit it! If we keep our mouths shut they'll all die from oxygen depletion.
And, on a more serious note, don't these dumbpkucks realize that the world didn't pop into existence in 1900? If things started going downhill with the Bolshevik Revolution, I'm sure that there are millions of WW1 casualties who are greatly relieved.
Wait a second here. I want democracy, human rights, and tolerance for everybody so the Muslims can kill us all? Ham rabbit sandwich? What the Harry Potter?
Remember, Jesus died for your eggnog!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
