Yes and no..... I'm perfectly happy to allow almost everybody to follow their own conscience. Thus, I have no dispute with Wiccans, Pagans, Polytheists, Pantheists, Atheists, or any other peace loving folks -- so long as they reciprocate by extending the same courtesy to me. On the other hand, Christians and Muslims both have a long, long history of intolerance and brutality. These faiths have the arrogance to imagine that they are superior to all others and that their dogmas and doctrines are the only acceptable mindset. To be blunt, fundamentalist Christians and Muslims represent a serious and very real threat to the survival of our civilization. Although they piously wrap themselves in righteousness, both are the true essence of evil in modern times. There are really only two alternatives. We can retreat from our responsibilities as members of the human race, and allow these religious extremists to precipitate World War III, which they call Armageddon. Because 90% of the Cold War's atomic weaponry still exists, this amounts to the suicidal extinction of the entire human race. The second alternative is for thinking human beings to oppose Christianity and Islam with all our combined intellectual might. Because these two religions actively seek to destroy our civilization, they are enemies of the entire human race and are no longer worthy of our tolerance. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion to not require us to remain quietly polite while the forces of evil work inexorably to destroy human civilization. The time for "whining and moaning" ended when GWB started an illegal and immoral war in hopes of triggering the "end of days." Christians no longer deserve our respect and must be vigorously opposed at every turn. Human civilization is at stake.

I would love to say; Not I. But in truth it does depend a little. On how they disagree.
Take the Mohammed cartoons for instance. Suddenly, our embassies were attacked, all over the world muslims cried out for bloody vengeance and demanded we all convert - or die. Some people were killed. Even here in Norway they formed a huge demonstration and cried for blood.
Such 'disagreement' I find highly objectionable, and I guess I might "whine" whenever they occur. Though "feel like boiling over" is probably closer.
If they simply disagree by civilized and peaceful standards I do not whine and moan. Though I may voice my disagreement in a healthy and good debate.

I don't... I tell them the truth and i try to show them that God is the way.
and if they don't accept it I will feel bad for them and I will especially when they have to go through the Second Death.
I know where im going and I don't have to force my belief on anyone i just plant the seed that will hopefully one day grow and show them the truth about God and if they accept Jesus then another victory for God and if not I wont whine or moan, but it will be sad to see another person lost going to hell.
God Bless You

Not I. It would be nice if I could be absolutely certain I was right, but the truth is far, far from it. I know I don't know, can't know.
No point singling out the muslims - I've seen whiners from all religious and philosophical backgrounds.

Not me.
I don’t know anybody who agrees with me on everything, so I’d have to do a lot of moaning, LOL. I respect people who have their own opinion, who actually spend time thinking for themselves.

I don't. Though I am sad for a person when their lack of beliefs are based on false information.

I don't, I've always tried to follow the scriptures that when not accepted shake the dust off your shoes and keep on moving...

Not me, it's not my job to MAKE someone believe what I tell them. We Christians plant the seed and only the Holy Spirit can make it grow.

I don't, but I personally know many that do. Everyone is free to believe as they wish.
