#1 that there is a creative force/ entity that made us.
#2 we are only human, and are inherently flawed in one way or another.
#3 being that we are human, and not on the same level as god(s) we cant truely beyond a shadow of a doubt understand god(s)
#4 since we cant truely know devinity, we have religion to help guide us, give us courage, strength and a purpose in life.
#5 Many religions if properly studied have many of the same laws,values and morales, the purpose is to better our selves.
#6 There are both good and evil people who follow every religion in the world, dont let a few spoil your opinion of the many.
#7 No one can show that their faith is the correct one, evidence is lacking, it is something felt not proven.
#8 when some one attacks your beliefs you attack theirs, you feel that they dont respect you or your heart and mind.
These are just my ideas, I thought I'd share. I am guilty of the last one and am sorry

LOL thats ok I know that most of you wont agree with all of them any way. Those with faith will agree with half, and the atheist will agree with the other half. Oh well, cant win um all!!

5 to 8 make sense, but 1 to 4 are nonsense. We are only flawed, because we are trying to live with the religious nonsense that men have taught us. Maybe those of faith can believe 5 to 8, if that helps you. Drop the other 4.

I agree with them. I am a christian too, but I believe that all religions and all people are accepted by God. A kid who grows up on an island and has no exposure to god or religion is accepted by God.
I can't, however, quote from the bible a lot to support things I say. 1- the bible wasnt written by God. 2- several portions of it are fabricated (adam and eve, noah's arc) and 3rd- many parts of it have been purposely altered to fit the christian and/or vatican's view of what they want (aka some parts say jesus said this, when in fact original scriptures say david said that and he said it with a different meaning--but it looks more appealing if jesus sais it with a universally different meaning). but, I agree to almost all of them except 3, simply because it has a plural beside god. but who knows...maybe there is more than one.

No. I stopped at #4, that was pretty bad. What does that mean anyway?
You don't understand the way God's Spirit works, neither do you know Him. You don't realize that Jesus provided us a covering typified in the Old Testament by the Passover lamb. Those who trusted God, were passed over by the angel of Death. Any who trust God are passed over, their sins are not counted a
against them.
So I'll agree to be hospitable to those who believe other things, but they need to understand, we are not all the same in the long run. We are different ( some of us) because Jesus made it different.

I can't agree. As a Christian, I know there is nothing I can DO to make myself acceptable to God. It is only by what Jesus has DONE that makes me acceptable to God
