Do you feel Christians are a threat to you?

Most of the time no. Most of my friends are Christians and ave no problems with me being different. In some cases of extreme intolerance they can be a threat. I have been fired from a job by Christians, and in another case I started carrying pepper spray as someone was trying to convert me and I was actually concerned that they might try and abduct me.

Christianity is not a lifestyle. It is a belief system. Christians live many, many different lifestyles. For example: I am a Christian and live a very left wing, rather poor, slow paced in recreation but holding several jobs, lifestyle. I have a brother who is a Republican in the military, living high-end in Hawaii, lifestyle. I have another friend who is a Christian who lives a very organically pure, clean and solitary lifestyle. I have two Christian friends who live on a boat. I have another Christian friend who is a missionary in another country. The list of lifestyles goes on. Christians are not a threat to anyone except those who try to stand against Christ. Then, the only threat they pose is the truth.

As a Christian, I believe that when someone truly accepts Christ, they may realize that their old lifestyle doesn't fit with their new religion. You can be a Christian and live just about any sort of life, because committing a sin doesn't mean you're not a Christian anymore.
But the truth is that if you're really a Christian, you'll probably feel guilty about it because you know it's not the way Jesus would want you to live.

If some one subscribes to the christian belief, they can be compatible with other life styles. I am not sure other's who subcribe to different lifestlyes can live amoung christians. The basic foundation of chritianity is faith hope and love, love being the greatest of these, so if one is a true believer then it is not only possible, but a requirement.

Or do u mean can a Christian and a person of another faith get married and live a happy liffe while still being themselves? Yes, I know some people of different faiths who are dating and totally compatible. I also know some people of differing Christian faiths who're married and doing very well for themsselves.

'Christians' already practice all other life styles. Some are quiet about it. The most fanatical practice more than the demur.
You find 'Christians' anywhere you go - some are right here on Y!A.
I don't feel threatened, by them - mostly irritated.

I feel that people can believe what they want but it's the christian extremist who are threats to other lifestyles. I don't believe in god but I don't believe or worship the devil either ....and many christian extremist believe you will go to hell just because you don't believe god and they preach to you (which annoys me). I do have christian friends though who are not extremist and they pose not threat to me or others ways/beliefs

Christianity and if you mean homo/bisexuality are not compatible and here's why:
Bible's text on Homosexuality
Le 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Le 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
1Co 6:9
¶ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind
1Co 6:10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Ro 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did
change the natural use into that which is against nature;
Ro 1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned
in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Ro 1:28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient

Not to me, I am one. I'd say that the "Modern" age has problems though; as they do their own thing, make their own music and don't go by the original version of the Bible!
