I'm glad someone's taking notes and doing their homework.
Many times when I'm walking down the street. I get bashed by Bible-toting Christians just because of the following:
I wear all-black.
I wear a spike collar around my neck.
I paint my nails black.
Jeesh, I have Christian friends who are more friendly than those jokers. There was even a time when a preacher grabbed my arm and told me I was Satan's whore. I filed charges against the creep but he got off scott-free.

I would think that most people who insult others beliefs are playing troll games just to get a reaction from us. It is not just here in R&S. I have seen rude things in Mental Health and even the DOGS catagory, People were asking questions about killing puppies. It's a game to a lot of people. If you ask a question. I will give you my best shot at an answer. That's all I can do.

That's a real good question! People will always criticize others regardless because they have nothing else better to do! Every human being has beliefs of their own. Just because you may believe in something and someone else don't believe in the same thing as you, that don't make you wrong. If you believe in something that is right for and to you, by all means you aren't wrong at all. People will criticize you on that though because they don't believe the things that you do! Just follow your heart with Jesus and you will never go wrong!

No.
True Christianity, or for that matter, any religious/spiritual person should be tolerant of others who do not think, act or worship in the same way as they do.
If any Christian thinks otherwise, then they weren't Christian to begin with or are very much misguided.

I do not attack another Christians beliefs. I have no reason to. I do not attack an atheists beliefs, they already know about God. There is no reason to. I do not attack Hindu's, Buddhists, or the like because I know nothing about them. I have no need to lie to myself nor anyone else.

"Attacking" would be wrong 'defending' would be appropriate. Truth by definition is narrow. It either happened or it didn't. President Lincoln was shot at a theater by a man named John Wilkes Booth nearly one hundred and fifty years ago. Some may find me narrow minded because I will not concede that he rather slipped on a banana peel at the Seven Eleven.

People on here who insult others for what they believe in are not Christian....
I may disagree with someone but I will never insult others for their opinions...

I believe "practice what you preach" is the basic rule that should be applied here for any person who claims to espouse a belief or dogma.

Many people expect to slap Christians just to see if we will turn the other cheek.While I am ready to forgive I am also prepared to defend my faith.As for those "other Christians that are rude"they can answer, if at all.

After looking at your previous question, I can say that no one attacked you or insulted your beliefs.
To merely disagree does not constitute an attack.
(I know of a woman who cries "EMOTIONAL ABUSE" every time she has a minor disagreement with her husband. Y'all just need to accommodate First Ammendment rights.)
