To: Torie
That attitude exemplifies about what non believers find annoying about some Christers

Which is exactly what Jesus said would happen. We would be hated because of Him.

Unfortunately, that's what happens when the sinful nature of man comes in contact with the Truth of Jesus.

You hate Christians because they tell you how to get to God. Christians tell you that you can only get to God through Jesus Christ, because that is what Jesus Christ himself said.

That's either true, or it's not.

If it's true, as Christians believe, then don't you think it's pretty generous of them to tell you, knowing full well that you're quite likely to hate them for it? What benefit is it to them if you don't know the truth that they know? Better to just keep quite about it, which is what a lot of Christians do in order to just "get along" (myself too, most of the time, much to my disappointment).

The "hate" word is quite misplaced as you use it, quite.

From what I've read it's hard to interpret Torie as "hating" Christians.

I think most Christians keep quiet not because they are afraid those they lecture to about their truth being the only way will hate them. I think they have respect for others truths and value a civil society with tolerance for all.

The "truth of Jesus" is not everyone's truth, or did you notice?
