"Hmmm....sounds to me like you're doing some looking down on others your own self. But that's okay, huh?

Indeed, the entire purpose of the article was an effort to lift someone (I'm not saying who) up by tearing others (Christians) down. This is typical behavior from one who suffers from lack of self-worth. But for some strange reason, such people tend to lash out others instead of simply accepting that Jesus died on the cross for them."

Im not looking down on anyone, just simply stating my own personal observations. It has been my experience that Christians really dont have any more tollerance for other religions than do the Muslims. I tried exploring the Christian faith before and all I found was hypocracy. It was however Ironic that my late fiance who was from mainland China, knew more about being a "Christian" than any other so called "Christian" that I had ever met in the US. I guess thats why she gave her life to save someone else. Though she never had a bible to read from or a church to attend, she looked forward to having both when coming to the US and she hoped to learn what it meant to be a "Christian" but to me, I think she could have instead taught what it meant. Though I subscribe to no particular faith I do respect all others even if I do not agree with them. If any mans religion makes he or she a better mirror image of themself, who am I to say that their beliefs are wrong? Sadly, those who claim to have religious faith (with the exception of Buddhists) do not feel this way. Else they would not spend so much time trying to convert the other.

Ohhhhhh....I see....that crack about Christians having small minds wasn't an example of you looking down on others, it was just a personal observation. LOL. Typical copout. I guess it must be one of those "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" things.

you talking about the type of hypocrisy where one calls another "small minded" and then belly-aches that the small-minded person looks down upon the one who calls the other small-minded?

It has been my experience that Christians really dont have any more tollerance for other religions than do the Muslims.
Then why do Christians in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and other places have to do their work underground.

It was however Ironic that my late fiance who was from mainland China, knew more about being a "Christian" than any other so called "Christian" that I had ever met in the US.
Ironic in what way?In that your fiance had to meet in caves and/or under constant threat of being arrested and tortured by the "tolerant" anti-Christian Chinese government?

. If any mans religion makes he or she a better mirror image of themself, who am I to say that their beliefs are wrong?
Is this a trick question?

Sadly, those who claim to have religious faith (with the exception of Buddhists) do not feel this way.
Buddhists don't think other religions are wrong? What's the point in being a Buddhist then?
