It's become apparent that Charley's "personal grudges" are far more
important than what he claims to be his personal beliefs.  Remember
that this is the man who justified abusive proselytizing.  And the man
who complains "How dare you categorize me with that incorrect politicoreligious
label?"  *I'M* not one of them.  *MY* church isn't like that." in direct
contradiction to his actions.  As if proving that he belongs to a group with
a different label gets him off the hook.

(Sorry, I'm laughing.)  Charley often claims "randomness" as the source of
his decision making process for choosing to capitalize and/or quote (or not)
the word Christian.  Recall that the original usage was to distinguish
"christian" intolerance (i.e., not by Christians) from Jewish intolerance
(i.e., *by* Jews?).
