This is a response to a question I asked it makes clear that extremist Christians want us all to be like them and wish to impose their values on us
I don't' know about you getting off the computer, but tollerance of a sinful lifestyle is the same as acceptance and support of that, and a Christian can not be tolerant of that if they are a Christian.
If A person who calles themself a Christian and is tolerant of a sinful lifestyle, it is no different for them if they choose that lifestyle for themselves just because they are in support of it. Afraid to hurt their feelings if they show intolerance of it.
God says this..
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
You are not a Christian if you are tolerant of sin.

Buddhism
And I think Hinduism is very tolerant of other religions

I am a spiritualist- and I can assure you that no one is damned to hell or rewarded with heaven for living a restricted life. Spirituality is about love for everyone and the knowledge that death is not the end atall, it's merely a gateway into another part of life- onto the spiritual plane. People who have done bad on the earth plane will not be segregated from the rest- but will find it more difficult to accept their situation, and will have to take resposnsibility for that which they have done. It will take them time to adjust, and their development will be hindered- as it was on the earth plane.
Spirituality accepts everyone for who they are- the good or the bad- no one is perfect. In christianity we have to believe we are born sinners because our parents had sex to create us- how sad is that. Sex should be embraced as the loving and amazing this it is- it brings us close to someone we love, and also enables us to create life ourselves. How can that be a sin? We create not only another person, but we create a soul.
I don't know if you are a Christian- or just searching for a faith that can support you, but consider spirituality. People may warr you against us, especially because we commune with dead in order to learn- but if it is proof you need, try it.
I hope I helped a little.

First the Christianity does not condemn the person to hell. The non believer is the one who condemns themselves to hell. There are only two ways and weather you like it or not they are heaven and hell. If you believe you have made the choice of heaven if you don't then the choice is hell. You are the one who does this not the belief.
Secondly if you are a Christian you should not tolerate sin. If it is in your life you should as for forgiveness and repent. If someone is participating in it it is your duty to not participate in it and to tell the person of the error of their ways. After that you have done all you can do and it is up to the person to either repent of their sins or die in them. Christianity is like life it is all about the choices you make as to where it will take you.

So, how can you condemm those men who blew up a Mosque, weren't they simply being intolerant?
The buddha says there are many ways to acheive enlightenment, there is no big beardy saviour that's going to come and help you out.
There is no hell in buddhism, there is no preaching, there are no 'values' to impose on others.
Same as hinduism.
The only three religions that have no terrorist sections, Buddhism, Hiduism, and Paganism.

You started out asking a question about having a religion that doesn't damn unbelievers to Hell. But then you ranted on about not being a Christian if you are tolerant of sin. Make up your mind.
However, I'll answer the first part of your question gladly. I believe in reincarnation, whereby while we all sin, we have numerous incarnations to right our wrongs and ULTIMATELY go on to our reward.

it truly is cool if it truly is unique, yet various the time it truly is basically something it truly is been executed before. Or it truly is 1/2 a huge gesture, like he tried to do something particular to seem cool yet replaced into afraid to get too loopy. when you're going to do it, then do all of it the way! also, even as that's a huge promposal in the front of a set of people, I imagine it would want to be various stress to assert convinced, it is bigoted. maximum heavily, it relies upon on the guy your asking's personality. might want to they truly favor to be requested the way that you're thinking? If no longer, then do not do it - you're surely questioning about your self(attempting to expose off to people). i in my view might want to hate a public promposal, yet a own one remote from people may be fantastic. do not bypass severe if that human being would not like severe.

Being a practitioner of Ifa( Yoruba way of life)or Orisa devotee may fit your requests. We do not believe in hell or the devil.
Each person's pathway is their own. Many Christians make judgemnets when the Bible says "Judge not lest ye be Judged"... go figure. This life is about a lot more that sin and whose going to Heaven or Hell.
How you live a true test of your greatness!

The world hates a hypocrite and so did Jesus. Look how He treated the religious of His day: The Pharisees. Wake up call to Christians. Do not live like the world but live righteous lives as a calling unto holiness.

Look at religion as a universal way that people acknowledge that there is a higher power.
Just try to good, help out the poor, and recognize one god and ALL prophets and the Divine revelations he has sent to us.
Islam in everyday context fulfills this. It recognizes all good except for setting others equal to God. One is supposed to recognize all holy word; like Buddha's words, or Gandhi... etc..

Of course one should not be tolerant of sin IN ONESELF. Your quote, by the way, was written by a Christian, not (necessarily) God, so be careful who you attribute it to!
The way to God is through loving Him. That is the sum total of our duty and from the true love of God flow ALL other things that are good and worthy in us.
Nobody who does not truly love God can be said to be without sin (since sin is simply a departure from the Way that He shows us.)
A relationship with God must essentially be a personal thing and therefore others' relationship with Him cannot and should not concern us beyond helping them to be aware of such a life.

Christians hate sin, but there is sin all around us. Even in ourselves.
Most of us don't want to force others to follow God.
You really can't force anyone to Love God, it just does not work.
We will stand up for our right to worship as we wish and try to be a good example of the love of Jesus to all others. Sometimes we fail in this as well.
Our weapon is prayer, and good works, not a gun or imprisonment.
Peace!
