Is believing in God a sign of mental illness? Is praying a silly exercise in make-believe – just a big waste of time and a delusional activity?
I certainly don’t think so, nor do most Americans. But on Tuesday, panelists on “The View” on ABC TV mocked Vice President Mike Pence for his Christian faith, calling it “scary” and even saying that his religious beliefs are a kind of “mental illness.”
Such comments are an insult to everyone who holds sincere religious beliefs.

“Christian shaming” must stop… Are you advocating for people being unable to criticize others for their thoughts or beliefs? You made the claim that “he [Vice President Pence] should not be criticized for his Christian beliefs”. Are you willing to give up your right to “shame” any one who follows a “religion” that you disagree with (same-sex marriage, polyamory, Satanism, Atheism, ad naseum.)? Your piece seem to just be a drawn out case of special pleading that people shouldn’t criticize christianity. It’s little more than this mixed with unsubstantiated claims and straw men.
The worst part of your piece is where you make the fairly common mistake of confusing discrimination and criticism. You make no case in which the VP has been discriminated against, that he has been denied any right or privilege, you’re simply complaining that some people on TV said some mean things to him. There are people who have been or continue to be denied rights based on some of their beliefs, and to belittle that by calling criticism discrimination is pretty heinous.
The issue is that whenever someone makes a valid criticism of a liberal, they overreact just like you did.
Great comment and opinion on Fox News on Christianity. All is favor say “I”! I I I I I!!!
