Why are you a bot account?

Also, I hear you. You don't see it often but it's because it isn't reported when a Christian does good Christian things, like volunteer, help people, etc.

Just as the right sees the LGBT community and only eats up the horrible news, ironically the Christians are seen that way to the left. Neither side sees the other in good light.

This is a general statement and not a representation of all views.

lol Not a bot account, but you're right, opposing views feeds on the failures of the other, it's sad both ways. Sorry if I've been commenting too much!

he said that because you are marked as a bot. you should be able to change that in your profile IIRC

It's probably not reported when Christians do good Christian things, because those things are actually "good decent things". You don't have to be a Christian to volunteer, help people, etc.

I see plenty of reporting about volunteers, maybe because I live in a hurricane state. Very rarely does the report mention religion, because people of all faiths and people with no faith at all are out there saving people and pets.
