Lots of things are acceptable.  Go to the library and get a book by Metzger on North American Denominations(Religions)\n\nAre you really interested in Christianity or are you more interested in human hypocrasy.  I think you like stirring the pot,  don't you.

"Just remember that if compassion, love, and unity is not in your belief, than you are a bad person no matter what your belief is." <=== That right there says it all. Christians have lost touch with that because they are so wrapped up in their image...so anything out of place to them is automactically fought against and you can't be like that--rude, uncompassionate, and un-loving. God wouldn't want that so why should you treat others indifferently because of what they believe or what they want to try. \n\nI love you for bringing that up. I'm a christian and I'm not like that at all. So it gets annoying when others are.

Because the only thing that is not being tolerated is intolerance of sin.  Go figure huh?

That we're anti-Semitic, homophobic, greedy, intolerant Crusaders out to destroy your people, Sawyer. So untrue. I like Jews and any true Christian would too. The same goes for gays and other people of other lifestyles and faiths. We don't hate them either.\nThere are those who wear a Christian mask and are not Christians at all.

The Christians are a large group and even though they teach tolerance most have none, They did to religion what the white man did to native americans, at least they are trying. \n\nWell this ought to get things rolling lol! \n\nPagans unite! \n\nI don't need the 10 points I had fun answering this one, gotta love a dry sense of humor.

It's funny that YOU ask this question.I just read one of your answers (the one about spirits) you sounded pretty intolerant towards Christians.\nYou might be the best person to answer this question, seeing that you do the same thing your complaining about.

I'm a Christian, and I totally agree with you. When Christians treat people rudely, they are not being like Christ. Christ said to love others as we love ourselves. I'm sorry that you have been treated poorly by Christians.

Unfortunately, many mock my faith and perceive me as  a mere simpleton. I am oftentimes shunned by peers because of my beliefs and dismissed when attempting to speak my mind. Frankly, I sometimes find being Christian rather difficult because it is the only religion that can be attacked without being politically incorrect.

Ok guys (and girls).   You all know that the reason you don't like Christianity is simple:  It goes against you.  If you were to become Christian, you wouldn't be able to do the sinful things you enjoy doing.  As a Christian, I am called to like a life according to the Bible.  Sure, I mess up, but I'm sorry for what I did, and ask forgivness from the person I offended and from God.  The whole thing of it is this:  Christianity convicts you.  If you accepted it, you would have admit you were wrong.  At least admit this:  You wouldn't want to say "I was wrong, forgive me"  would you?  No.  It would hurt your pride.  Pride is the thing that keeps us from heaven as sinful humans.  Jesus didn't come for the people who think they are perfect, He came for the sinners.  Who do you think would be more thankful, the one who was forgiven much?  Or the one who was forgiven little?

I'm a Christian, but many times I think if I wasn't I'd be so turned off by how some other Christians behave/act/talk.  In the name of Christ, they do some really outrageous stuff or twist the scriptures to fit their own agenda. Or act SO radically ridiculous  that it is a total turnoff to those who maybe are seeking. It's only a small handful of people, mind you, but those few can really spoil it for those that are genuinely trying to walk day to day and show God's love in every circumstance.  I consider myself a radical Christian, but mellowed by age, and a general sense of not wanting to turn off and offend every person I meet!

christianity is based on the teachings of christ ,christ sacrificed his life demonstration his conviction and faith in tolerance,forgivenes and peace and this question demonstrates that you have accepted negativity or satans anger in your heart and tit for tat is not christian like behavior also.if you read the book and understand the context it is to be taken in ,then you have nothing to fear this book is not attacking your beliefs,it is fiction,not real and it is an expression of art you may not appreciate however you are no better by condemning others and personalizing and harboring negativity and your last two battle cries for angry christians are scary and the reason alot of people turn atheist or are afraid of the christian terrorists,no one can take anyone else who does not practice what they preach seriosly,and  seriously,selfrighteous hatred or intolerance only promotes more of the same ineffective communication  barriers and ruins the speakers credibility and tends to make some question intelligence which is unfair but a reality that does exist.\nif you want others to respect your religion then you must respect their values or individuals with different vales and model the behavior you expect from others,this does not mean you must not have personal objections to this for yourself and you can tell yourself this misguided fool is going to hell and pray for their soul without spreading hateful intolerance and inciting hatred for all christians or religions by refraining from telling this person they atre going tohell and protesting because they do not share your views and its not fair some other group was treated differently

I must tell you that it saddens me to hear that your experiences with Christianity have left you disenchanted with the whole thing. As a "christian" I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for any thing that anyone who calls themselves a christian has done to hurt or anger you.\n  I would like to say that i agree with one of the other posts in the fact that not everyone who calls themselves christian truly knows Jesus Christ.  You see "Christianity" has become just another religion where we humans try to reach God on our own terms.  That's where all the "bible thumping" comes from.  Jesus is Gods attempt to reach us humans through His love, unfortunately most Christians never fully experience His love and therefore can never love themselves.  They think that by being super zealous for the laws that God has set for us, and "taking a stand" for what they believe that they will some how please god more.  The bible teaches that we can do nothing to please God, outside of having a relationship with His son Jesus Christ.\n\nI would be honored to share with you how you can truly experience Gods love if you want.\n\n\np.s.  I didn't get the stamp of approval from my church or minister but that's OK cause I AM one of the ministers!:)\n\ncrazy that one of us guys would read something that challenged Christianity huh?  Hope i am up to the challenge

i agree. I ask christians questions and they give me hateful remarks. Its as though they have no incentive to be nice because Jesus saved them from being respectful to other people.  and what about turn the other cheeck? when i was a christian i thought they were held to higher standards, i was dead wrong. I left because of the hypocracy and ignorance.
