May I ask why you feel this way?Fluffy said:I think that tolerance for religion in general is in a slow decline.
Nah! It's the sanctimonious, better then thou attitude of some Christians that give the whole body a black eye.johnnys4life said:It is true. For some reason people really hate Christians, which just comes as SUCH A SHOCK!
Hmm, can't think of why that would be.... (*cough* Matthew 10:22 *cough*)
Well I'll make my view slightly more specific. I think that overall tolerance for religion is in decline. Some religions, like Wicca for example, are becoming more tolerated but this is not large enough to make a significant impression on the overall picture of things.May I ask why you feel this way?
If it ain't that it's some other excuse. Christian hate is quite in fashion.Natas said:Nah! It's the sanctimonious, better then thou attitude of some Christians that give the whole body a black eye.
Now that saddens me; the only way to go forward is to show Islamic people that we realize that the terrorism is not representative of their faith. I see quite a few Muslims around, and I always makee a point of smiling and saying 'hello' as I would do for anyone else. I pray you are wrong, because, if you are right, that means real trouble and I mean REAL....Luke Wolf said:I agree the tolerance for Christianity is going down because of the holier than thou attitude and intolerance many of them display.
I think the withcraft-practising religions are very slowly gaining more acceptance. Acceptance for Islam has droped. Acceptance for other religions such as Hindu and Buddah im not sure about.
He he he...I can completely imagine you doing this. You just seem like a nice guy...and I always makee a point of smiling and saying 'hello' as I would do for anyone else.

Everyone has a choice. An intolerance towards Christians is an intolerance towards the religion. People think it's cool but it's not. It's just as bigoted as intolerance towards any other religion or race.Jacose said:Most Christians never have a choice.
