God bless you for being real and telling it like it is. Christians have been too tolerent too long. \nLiberals want to take Christ out of Christians.

Facts ... I believe in "God". I am not able to accept the Christian version of monotheism. I consider it illogical and it makes no sense to me. I do not lie awake at night not believing. The Bible is not perfect. It has been mistranslated by numerous translators in various translations. Christianity is not the worlds longest running religion. There was Judaism and Hinduism and several others prior to 2000 years ago that are still alive and well. You asked for facts. Those are facts. I'm not Christian. That doesn't bother me. You are Christian. That doesn't bother me either. Instead of worrying about others and their relationship with "God" or their lack of same maybe there's something else you need to be looking at? Just a thought. And that's a fact. :-)

People judge other people's choices of religion all the time when they choose a different religion. Tolerance relates more to not committing acts of violence (as you point out) than it does embracing others' religions.\n\nI can think of lots of religious practices that I find repugnant, tithing, worshiping the pope, communion, snake handling, holy rolling, etc., but I support people's right to do those things if it makes them happy.\n\nErgo, religious tolerance.

In ancient times, there were religions way before Christianity came along. They all had many god/goddesses. And then Christianity came along and basically killed or wiped out anyone who wouldn't be forced to believe in one god.  It doesn't make it right.  It also means that there are other religions out there.  It al has to do with what's in your heart and soul.  Nobody else matters.

When your fellow christians are condemning you for being gay you should point out that none of them are living by the word of God either. I'm pretty sure God frowns on divorce, adultery, and a lot of other stuff that christians do all the time. According to God's word you're not even supposed to work on the sabbath, but they're not trying to ammend the constitution to enforce that rule, are they? They are using their religion as a moral cloak to hide their homophobia. Doesn't it seem strange that they crusade against homosexuality, but have nothing to say about any of the other sins people commit daily. Why do you want to be a part of all this nonsense anyway? Find your own path.

You obviously never heard the stories of Jesus accepting sinners, lepers and pagans when Jews of his time shunned and out casted these people.  Do you bash Christianity because it teaches that being gay is wrong or are you just not knowledgeable about Christianity?  It sounds like you're bashing Christians.

in my opinion its because most Christians cant think for themselves and wont accept any other religion as valid. and i hate how the first Christians adapted many pagan traditions just so they could convert them easier

Christianity is faith based and centered on a risen Savior. Those that have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior do not comprehend this faith, therefore cannot explain it. Since they cannot explain this faith that Christians possess, it scares them. Therefore, it is easier to condemn and shy away from Christians and Christianity then to accept those that have this faith.\n\nTrue Christians are peace loving people that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. (Key words: True Christians) These teaching are against what non Christians want to practice and how they choose to live. They fear that Christians will change the way they want to live, and so they spend their lives running from this faith based religion.\n\nPersonally, if I had never met Jesus Christ, I truly believe I would be praying to do so. I had rather leave this world believing that Jesus is the Son of God, and find out I was right... than to leave this world not believing and find out I was wrong.

Because in the eyes of the religious, anything that is different from what they have been told to believe must be put down...and this to them is perfectly acceptable.\nIt's truly sad that a belief system that preaches love and understanding can hold such a double standard when it comes dealing with alternative views.

Because to some christians, they are afraid if they look into other ideas that they might discover that they are wrong or need to change.  It is far easier to for some to just follow the cultural norm, follow what everybody else is doing instead of discovering real truth on their own.  There is a difference between feeling something is true and knowing 100% without a shadow of a doubt it is true.  by following christianity blindly without investigating they don't have to deal with family members or friends being upset or stirred up.  People are afraid of what they do not understand, like how many christians say pagans worship satan, when in fact they do not.   I have known christians who won't even remotely associate with "non-believers" when in their scriptures it says for them to make disciples and tell everyone about Jesus; but conversation goes both ways; so heaven forbid for a "non-believer" to question or say something back-that is where in some instances the hate and narrow-mindededness comes in.

To be honest with you I really don't know but it is really stupid to fight over religion. those christians who don't respect other religion is  considered biases, or racist. So I believe they are bad people themselves. But remember, other religious people are like that too, so not all christians are like that. there is only one God in this Universe and I don't think God cares about thousands of religion. What God really cares about is that you go to heaven.

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.

I think it's funny how then Christians are answering this with basically, "follow Christ or else!"  and completely ignore the whole point of this.  I personally agree with you and think it's stupid how when push comes to shove, their whole "defense" for Christianity is either "believe it or else" or "well what harm is it in playing it safe and being a Christian to avoid being in Hell"

The same goes if some other religion is true, then it is unfair to many others including Christans.\n\nPerhaps the true religion was that of the Norse with Odin, Thor and all...then we're all in trouble.

Christians are very ignorant of other faiths.  I suppose because they're been raised to think that theirs is the only true faith and that everyone else needs to be converted to Christianity.\n\nIt's getting better though.

No but some christians do have the bible so far up there ass that they can see anything else. I am a christian but I do not believe in pushing my beliefs on someone else or got all irate about how someone else believes or acts. I am only responsible for myself and can only make decisions for myself.
