the lowest common denominator

i've started to use a little add-on for firefox called stumble. it pretty much randomly sends you to a website submitted by registered users of the stumble community based on selections that you personally chose from a list of categories such as astronomy, physics, religion, music, blogs and many many more.

so for shits i picked religion and i think that's the reason why i get so damn many jesus loves you and hates your brain web sites. i've found search engines that bring up passages in the bible, about 432 versions of bible wiki crap, daily affirmations of bigotry and hate in the name of a cruel and vengeful creator, and i don't know how many praises for the presidents ascendancy into his predestined position of the second coming of christ.

i have not once stumbled upon a site about any other religion that was specifically labeled in the relidion category of the stumble program. the one site that i got on wicca was listed under 'bizarre/oddities'. for a religion that proclaims on a daily basis how persecuted it is, as far as the consensus of a quite large internet community, christianity seems to be the only religion that qualifies as so.

i want to ask when this happened, but thats a stupid question. cruise around, do google searches for about any subject except maybe tentacle rape and you will find some sort of 'christian' slant on said subject. the pseudo science of creationism was practically born out of internet discussion rooms and newsgroups that started out in fact as legitimate science resources.
