But anybody who's a Christian should be aware of the epitome of the power of the visual representation of the enemies of a religious movement violently killing their leader. Many of you probably wear one.

So true, and well said. Honestly, it amazes and infuriates me sometimes the way many people refuse to think "What would I think if I were in this person's position? What in my experience is analogous to their experience?" It's as if they don't realize that they are dealing with fellow human beings who share comprehensible thought patterns.

But then from my experience of many of these people, they don't realize that people of color, or LGBT people, or people who aren't Christian, and so on, are fellow human beings who share comprehensible thought patterns, so I suppose this is that same lack of perception once again, and I would do better to try to understand that lack of understanding.
