People attack what they are afraid of, whether they attack it legally, socially, physically, or religiously. The things that religious people attack others about are the things they find frightening...differences. Yup. Whether it's a difference in sexuality, clothing, faith, language...whatever. Fear of difference spurs attacks and imposed division.
Do what you will with it.

Like the story of the Blind Men and the Elephant...
One man might think, "Hey, if i think this feels like a tree (the leg of the elephant), and he thinks it feels like a rope (the tail), of course we can't both be right. But, if i'm wrong, that means i don't exist (since our existence depends on our ability to synergize with the rest of the world). I know i exist, so he must be wrong."

Perhaps that is true of some christians, but not of all. I don't think I've every attacked someone because of a difference in sexuality, faith, clothing, or language. But because I'm an educator as well as a christian, I do try to teach others what I believe to be true.

This is what happens when u have lots of law books instead of the one true book the bible.
Whats wrong in bible is wrong whether any accepts or not.
Whats good in bible is good whether any accepts or not.
So know whats good or bad from bible.
But there is one good thing u must know
GOD loves u so much that he sent his son JESUS to die for u to reconcile u back.
John 3:16 says "For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life".Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved and u will surely know the answer in heaven if not earth.

You need to get more informed of the world.
Can I infer your statement shows a fear of Christians, since you are "attacking" them?
Many people protest something because, plain and simple, they do not believe that it is good for a person or society in general.
To put ALL Christians in the same boat is ignorant.
I see no "truth" in your statement.

Hmmm...
Sort of like the only thing to fear is fear itself?
It's true.
People fear what they don't understand.
So what is the best way to defend against the fear and attacks?
Education.
The more you know, the less you don't understand, the less you fear.
Lets get rid of irrational fears for once and all!

Exactly. Aversion to that which challenges our self-cherishment (i.e. ideas, etc.) is what generates a reaction, which, in those who aren't familiar with the way things really work, is often negative, which in turn generates more negativity in a cyclical manner that can spiral out of control.
