"The most unendearing aspect of Christianity is its insistence that only through Christianity can one "be saved"; all others being damned to eternal torture. Such a belief system breeds a certain arrogance, and fosters contempt for people of other faiths."

True.

..."True."

You can make that case of all religions.
What are we to think of a religion that serves up its own for crucifixion?

The Word is filled with those who are ignorant, willingly ignorant, sottish, etc.... stubborn, stiff-necked etc...

It is also written some willing to believe strong delusions, to the point Isaiah 66:4, and IIThessalonians2:11.

Christ first warning when asked about the signs of his return was "DECEPTION".

Hard to hold against those whose eyes have been sealed shut for their own protection by our Heavenly Father. We are also told in that Song of Moses about those who stick their fingers in the "apple" of his eye.

So as Christ told us "I have foretold you ALL things, have you READ?

If somebody wrote about an "unendearing aspect" of Judaism, I wager you'd call him an antisemite. By signing off on a smear of Christianity, you come off like an anti-christian bigot. Too bad you think christianity is fare game for slurs that we'd never allow to be leveled against Judaism.
