have you noticed how the world complains about Christians not tolerating anything, while it tolerates everything BUT Christianity? have you noticed that they want the Bible (which says to "love one another" and "dont kill" and "dont steal") out of schools and off the radio? i was pretty sure it was called freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. am i the only one that sees this happening?

Yes, I also have noticed this. It's really sad. This country was founded on God. I just wish that those who don't believe in God would just turn the other way and leave us alone. Honestly, I think we Christians have tolerated and put up with too much of the world and it's views.

No, you're not the only one.
You know in my AP English class in high school my teacher (who wasn't christian BTW) had us read some books out of the Bible for the sake of identifying biblical allusions in literature (which are everywhere).
I don't mind if public schools don't teach the Bible in a spiritual context, but they are selling themselves short if they exclude that (and other religious texts) in literary teaching.

well lets bring up the tolerance issue, do you think it's tolerant to make laws based on christian beliefs when not all people are christians? and i'm talking about human right issues like abortion and gay rights.

True,
But there is a fine line, we should not force our faith onto others.
We should be free to worship as we please, if I want to say a prayer in school, I should be allowed to, but the whole class should not have to.
I don't want to live in a Religious Autocracy, even if it were a Catholic one.
Peace!

Yep....its called hypocrisy....Christ haters preach tolerance but practice intolerance...
However, the Bible does NOT expect us to be tolerant of everything.....rather we are to be intolerant of evil, sin, wickedness, and false teaching.

Yup, I've seen it. Remember John 15:18, "If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. "
All the carping is only proving that fact.

honey, the bible also says things like 'stone adulterers and homosexuals', so please don't go there.
you are free to experience your religious beliefs in any way you want AS LONG AS YOU DON'T BOTHER OTHERS WITH IT.
