that's not what was said. what was said that it wasn't surprising that X 
happened and that's because christianity is sado-masochistic. that's making 
one big grand stereotyping explanatory statment that has little evidence to 
support the assertion.

i call that bigoted thinking. worse, it's bigoted because it authorized 
itself by appeal to a discourse that is supposed to be taken seriously 
because it calls itself scholarship.
