Is it possible to shame God? Well I believe it is and that the only people who can do it really well are those who claim to know him best.  So if you are an atheist, an agnostic or a “hatch, match and dispatch Christian” (believing that faith only matters for births, deaths and marriages) then you are let off the hook.

In the history of the Christian church there have been some remarkable moments and wonderful people but there have also been very dark moments. In what I write you will see how Christians in the name of God or Jesus cruelly vilified a long list of people including Jews, Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists, the poor, the disabled and Queer people. With the last group, priests and evangelists have taken a message that aligned people of other than heterosexuality as demon-possessed and worthy of exclusion, starvation, death and worse, the fire of eternal suffering. Yet as we will see the same evil has been perpetrated on the other groups as well.
