I'm continually amazed at how scornful the reactions are to Christian principles. True, many have committed hate and atrocity in the name of Christ, but so have those of other religions and those of no religion. Besides, how do the actions of some of the adherents of a worldview become the sole factor for judging that worldview's legitamicy? (Muslims, where you at?) Should it not be based on its historical/scientific veracity? Genuine Christians evangelize out of concern for fellow man. Would you not warn someone if they were driving of a cliff, even if the driver thought you were ignorant/misled/bigoted, etc. You have free will. God does not force Christ on people; neither do genuine Christians. But outreach is an essential part of the faith. Don't ya'll understand that? If you hate my beliefs, then go your way, but don't insult us b/c we reach out to you and desire as many as possible to be saved. The vitriol just shows your close-mindedness.
