If I were to believe in God I would guess there is no way we can tell who has the right god. Why not be open to other faiths and accepting to other beliefs? Christians only care about themselves and believe everything Jesus did and said. Homosexuals don't exist and women are 2nd to men. Why can't times change for Gays to become priests or priests to marry? Shouldn't all these preists be sent to jail for molesting children instead of moved to another church? I used to be Christian and has found they do more harm then good.

Hmmmm, homosexuals don't exist? [Because we hang them]
Women are second to men? [Because it's said, in our Book, that they are inferior to men and get only one fourth in the inheritence]
Not open to other faiths? [For this is the only one "True" Religion]
Not accepting other beliefs?[refer to the above]
Priests molesting children?[Heck, it all started with our Prophet, himself, being a pedophile]
Heck, you're absolutely right!?!?
Only problem is that you got the wrong name for the sorry excuse for a "religion", there.
It's not called Christianity, it's called Islam.
Merry Christmas!!!!

WHERE DO YOU GET THIS STUFF?!?!!?
God is God. Many faiths see His differently because of Traditions. But there is only one God. I am Roman Catholic, a very strict religion. Yet myself and others I know are very open to learning about other faiths and we respect them all. We just aren't going to convert to them. I don't ever put myself first. God is first, my son then, my parents, my brothers, my friends, and strangers all come before me. Of course I would believe everything Jesus did and said. It's part of my faith and now that I'm 35 & have read many books on my Catholic faith, I love my my faith and openly accept it. If I didn't, I would then probably convert to something else or leave God behind all together. It's a personal journey. Homosexuals exists. They have been around since the biblical ages to present. Heck, they are all around me! I respect them as people. I just believe what God said about homosexuality because He is God and I would never tell God that He is wrong. I am female. I've never come 2nd to any man. If I have, then I've done it to my own accord. Adam was created first. Men are the dominant ones, 'king of their castle". If a woman doesn't like that, then don't marry him. But it was Jesus that selected His 12 apostles (all men) and Jesus selected Peter to be the head of the Church (a man). etc. It's in accord with the Holy Word of God. Many women are housewives and stay-at-home mothers and are completely happy with that role. I think it's a very important role in the family household. The man might bring home a paycheck and mow the yard, but it's usually the wife that keeps the family together. She is the glue that binds them all. Active homosexuals are active sinners. They can't become priests and still have an active gay sex life. That's be hypocritical of the Church and of God. Priests use to be married up until 400 yrs ago. The Pope is considering this to change sometime. Soon I hope, because many married men would love to serve the Lord and have a church and parishioners and still be a husband and father. I think this will change within the next 10 yrs. or less. The Vatican is separate from outside laws. I believe it was the liberals that forced the church and state separation thing yrs ago. So that's why priests are punished within the Church and not outside the Church. Talk to the liberals on that on. If you are no longer a Christian, then that means you no longer believe that Jesus is our Messiah, Son of God, second Godhead, our Redeemer and Saviour. I'm sorry you've changed your mind, but you have the right to do that. It wasn't the Church that changed, it was you. Are God's laws too demanding on you?

Lets see if I can take this in order...
1)Some christians are blind and unaccepting, those are called hypocrites.
2)I am open to the idea of everyone having a right to "pick their own poison".
3)homosexuals exist, they are sinning against God. But then again so are the rest of us almost as soon as we set foot on the floor in the morning. There is not one of us that is perfect, so homosexuals should not be judged or condemned for their sin, it will be between them and God. I simply do not want to hear about it 24 seven and be told I have to like it. Accept it I grant, like it I can't.
4)Women are not 2nd. Obviously you have not read about Rachael, Mary, Elizabeth, Pricilla, Esther, etc. They were extremely influential women in both the Old and New Testaments.
5)Times cannot change because God is the same today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow.
6)Any pedophile should be in jail regardless of religious affiliation and should not be able to hid under the Pope's skirt.
Okay....next question?

First make sure your not a Jack**** yourself. Let's assume you are. Then we assume they aren't jack******. Then we have the fact that their doctrine is evangelicalism. also the religions satanism is nothing short of blasphemy, Gays are a hot bottom issue that many have trouble distinguishing the sin vs the sinner. so on and so forth. Also these groups can be just as unaccommodating as Christians and the reverse is true. The real problem is people suck and you should stop scrape goating Christians before you become just as unacceptable

Most Christians I meet are extremely loving, kind and accepting people. They mind their own business and do not preach. Their arms are always open and their generosity pours out from there. There is always a joke, and everyone has respect for everyone else according to their station. When you are around them, you feel balanced and ...free. This is true of the Sikhs I've met, of the Muslims I've met, of the Buddhists I've met.

Wow, I guess I, as a Christian, don't fit into anything you said there! Everyone is equal to me, I accept people for who they are, etc! So if it bothers you, why not do something about it instead of complaining to us?

Let me just say that in your telling Christians to be open to other religions, you yourself are being closed-minded to Christianity. Might want to think about that before putting out another "I hate Christians" speech....

You are judging the whole group by the deeds of a few. Seems like you are the narrow minded one.
