I like the person. I can disagree with beliefs, and make my point, but it is then for you to decide.

Once you understand what being a Christian is all about, there is no way that you can dislike other people. We are taught to love one another as Christ loved us. If someone we know does not know about Jesus and about His plan to save us from our sins, it is up to us to teach that person the truth. There are countless people who have different beliefs, but we must be willing to teach them the truth. If they do not accept the truth, there is nothing else we can do. Hear the word, Believe the word, repent of your sins, confess Jesus as lord before men, and be baptized for the remission of sins. Remain faithful and study the scriptures daily. We must reach out to those who have been misled or have been taught wrong in a kind manner to try and help them see the truth.

No, not at all. I believe everyone has a different way at looking at the world and that's exactly how it should be.
If non-Christians are seriously treated that poorly in your town, I'd consider not telling them until such a time as you can move some where more friendly.

Yes.I know what you are talking about. I do not dislike others but feel bad that they limit the great friends they have in thier lives that could be there for them when they need it. It goes back to the whole idea that they are better than everyone else. It does not matter that they are judgeing. They keep doing it. So I show them what it is like to not judge and to
give respect and turn away.

There is something wrong with your neighbors because in the bible it tells us to love one another. I am a christian i dont dislike people of other religions. Its just saddens me deeply that if they do not except Jesus as lord and saviour, then they will not inherit the treasures of heaven.

I just wouldn't make waves. You are probably young,right? Just be a decent person and live your life. Christians don't usually treat folks badly just for that reason, but then I don't know your little town.

I think Jesus loves all people regardless of there religion,Its not the religion that saves the person.I believe people are judged on how they treat there fellow man.

I dislike people that hate me because I have a different religion.But to answer your question I think you should see if you can find some others who share your views and if you can't then when you get the chance move to a larger city where people are more tolerant.I have and it's been wonderful for me.

I as a christian dont have a right to judge others. I care about all people and you are and should be treated the same. God loves you and he will send people to wittness to you . But that is part of free will you dont have to listen. Please consider accepting Jesus, not for the people around you but for you.

I don't dislike people who don't believe in Jesus, I just fail to understand why not. I don't get what kind of town you live in that segregates you like that. Its not a Mormon town, is it?

As long as they do not push their religion onto me [nor any one in my family] or treat me like I am stupid, then I can get along with everyone.
If they want to beleive in Jesus, thats fine. Just do not tell me I am wrong for not beleiving in God.
It is not their place to understand why I dont beleive - its none of their business.
