I AM A CHRISTIAN.

I have no problem with others beliefs, I just find the Christian bashing a little harsh. I tend to not speak up when someone groups ALL of us Christians together in the same group of people. Some of which I will note show a certain lack of tolerance, but please remember, not ALL of us are like that and it shows your ignorance to place a negative thought on a group of people, many of which you dont know and have failed to try to know. Some Christians or Some people might think like that but it is not ALL of us.

Thank you.
Well said. flowerforyou

I agree it is easier to be a christian than a lot of religions, but if you understand the basic thought of this thread, I am just asking for some tolerance like I try to show every member here.
I totally agree with you. However that will never happen. To many people are so dead set that their beliefs are right and others are wrong that they can't be tolerant of lifestyles they see as "sinful"

Oh, I get that. I wish everyone would just chill and let people have their own opinions.

but in some religions you are NOT supposed to tolerate other lifestyles considered sinful. It's a viscious cycle really.

Interesting title for your topic.


As from one Christian to another, the above reference is true. If you want to be distinguished as "the good Christian" then show it in every act, and word that comes out of your mouth.

Psalm 4:4
In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.

Don't forget being Pagan...Witches still wonder if they'll get burned for practicing frown


That burning thing is SO not cool, so YESTERDAY, so Puritan!! laugh laugh laugh


The scary thing is that if the puritans had their way and it wasn't illegal they'd still be doing it.

Well I guess it's because it's not a religion, so there's no obligation to put it under religion.

I'm always getting asked what I am too...Sometimes I would love to see the look on their faces when I tell them I'm a solitary practitioner.

the jb person jeanniebean she was bashing christians and it's like not all of us are like that.


That would be me. smokin
And yes, I know that Christians are not all alike.

I don't bash Christians. I bash intolerance. I bash ignorance.

I seen nothing wrong with Oprah and when a person calling herself or himself Christian calls Oprah or anyone "dangerous" because of their money, belief or influence on people, I want to know why they think their beliefs are any less "dangerous" than hers.

The answer of course, is that Christians think they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Oprah has stated that their are other ways to God and Christians are upset about that because they claim that theirs is the only way to God.

If that is not true, please correct me. It is not bashing anybody to speak the truth.

JB, The problem is that your "truth" is different than other's truths. Therefore, it's impossible to have a rational, logical, conversation when talking of many percieved truth's by other's. These types of thread's will never produce harmony, which i believe you believe in? So why participate and this goes for the other's?? why?

I always let people have their own opinions. Why would I not?

When I post a response to someone's opinion, I am not preventing them from having an opinion.

What kind of conversations could you have with anyone if all we were allowed to do is post our opinions and nothing more?

It would just be a bunch of different opinions. It would not be a conversation would it?

What would be the point in that?

You can disagree with me all you want, and I welcome your different opinions if you want to talk about them in detail, I am happy to.

But when I see injustice and prejudiced statements against other people like Oprah or anyone because she is sharing her beliefs in public, and people calling her dangerous, I want to know why they think so and what gives them the idea that their beliefs are any less dangerous?

I still await the answer to that.

It seems to me JB is all you're asking for is for people to back up their opinons / beliefs. Not calling them "wrong" just wanting them to explain and back up why they feel the way they do. There's nothing wrong with that.

Well I have yet to hear why anyone thinks Oprah is "dangerous."

How is she "dangerous?" Who or what is she "dangerous to?"

I think she is just raising people's consciousness and spreading love and understanding in the best way she can.

Nobody complained about her when she was spreading Christianity, but now that she is no longer doing that, she is called "dangerous."

Does anyone see my point here? Can anyone answer my question?
What dangerous threat does she pose? And to whom?
