I'm going to speak only for myself, but I suspect many of the others here at FR that you accuse of targeting Christians in general would agree with me.
What I have tried to convey to you is that *you* are intolerant and that *you* use your Christianity to sit in judgment of others' Christianity.
I am a Christian, and most of the people who have reacted to your self righteous remarks have identified themselves as Christians also.
It is *not* your Christianity that I have reacted to, but your sanctimonious attitude. The very fact that you accuse me of targeting Christianity is an example of the problem that I have had with you.
I've noticed a pattern with you and most of us that you have directed your accusation to, and that is that you have implied and outright said over and over again that we are not Christians, but we have given you the benefit of the doubt about your Christianity.
You don't seem to accept that there are many differences among Christians, but that there is one thing that we all have in common and that is our love for Jesus Christ. I hope that you will consider examining your motives and changing your attitude toward other Christians who happen to practice different religions than you do.
I don't agree with all of your views, but as a Christian, I will try to focus on what we have in common rather than our differences if you will do the same, because what we have in common is the best thing that has happened to all of us.
I've been hard on you, I admit, but you really pushed my buttons because I cannot stand to see people twist the truth in order to condemn other people. You probably aren't aware that you've done that, but you have, not only to me and others at FR, but to the president as well.
So if we all keep in mind that we will have differences in doctrine, some major, with other Christians, but that none of that can overshadow the one thing that we do have in common, maybe some of these bad feelings will abate.

I always find it interesting that people think that their particular brand of judgment as superior and righteous..but see any position that varies with theirs as an insult.. I would suggest you first reread what you wrote and tell me it does not drip with YOUR brand of judgment. (which of course we all know is righteous and holy)
Actually I usually post scripture and that seems to brand me especially intolerable.
Luke 6:22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake
