i believe in God and Jesus but i don't consider myself a christian the bible says there are many claiming to be christian and are not. you have to live the life. by live the life i mean be christ like love the Lord your God with all your heart,mind,body, and soul. and treat your neigbor right because how can you say you love God who you cannot see and hate your brother whom you see everyday. if you have hatred in your heart for anyone or group of people you are not of God because God is love. i know i have people i hate and i wont stop hating them till God changes me.

because its really not worth splitting hairs; irrationality is irrationality, especially when it is faith based

Well, I'll put it in terms of logic (this is not my opinion, really):
The largest religion in the world (by territory and number of countries) is Christianity, by far. There are zealots in any religion, so it follows that there are many, many Christian zealots.
Now, on a personal note, I find that the religion itself tends to encourage this behavior, seeing as it began with one person out to convert and "save" the world. This continues today, and plenty of people believe that it is their duty to bring others to see their "truth".

Believers in any religion (or any other belief or cause) can be zealots. It is not restricted to Christians.
And as for people who call themselves Christians, proclaim it loudly, frequently, and publicly; but yet treat other people badly, well I guess they are all just talk. Saying you are a Christian does not make you one.

the comparable clarification why all autos are grouped interior the comparable classification, even however some are 2-door coupes and a few are pickup autos and a few run on gas, some on deisel, some on electricity and a few are hybrids. A bicycle is *additionally* a automobile. human beings *choose for* the thank you to categorize and diverse approaches could properly be suitable at diverse situations.

I guess the same reason many of us Christians lump all pagans together and assume they worship the devil.. People just don't want to bother to base it on the individual..they just blame the group..kind of like racists....ignorance is bliss..

Because "christiandom" harbours these fruitcakes, and makes no official attempt to distance themselves from them, no doubt because any numbers will do when it comes to lobbying power, and the christian attempts to have a church state..
That's why..?
Maybe it's time to tidy up the house if you are sick and tired of these fruitcakes..

If you can hold on to primitive beliefs in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, then to me, you are a zealot.
