does it just make it easy demonize someone when they don't share your beliefs?
just like muslems believe all infidels don't have the right to live

Christians don't realise that their Holy Book, the Bible contains a lot of preaching and scaremongering - designed to brainwash people into worshipping God, the same could be said of the muslims too - with their text?
And of course, their basic beliefs are not valid.
eg. Everyone is born not attached to any religion - and so why should believing in a religion matter at all? People have been unbelievers worldwide for aeons. Do Christians really believe that all babies are sinful? That all children are sinful too - when they have no idea who God is, etc..
It's so plain to see that religions are political - they are after power and control - their text is so full of propanganda it is unreadable to non-believers - so full of crap, basically...

Well, that is a tough one to explain with just a Yes or a No and leave it at that. But No, it isn't. You, however, did not make that rule, did you? No, Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) And we all know what will happen to everyone who is not saved. So, no it is not wrong as long as you remember that Jesus also told us to "go and make disciples of all nations." We at least have to try to share the Gospel with people, any way we can. We cannot look down on anyone. Judgement is for God, not us. Yeah, I know... easier said than done, right?

I believe in God, but not Christianity. I couldn't love and trust a God that would eternally torture and punish. Nor one who would have me feel the need to shove a religion down someone's throat. When people feel the need to scare others into their way of thinking, ya lose sight of God's hope for us. We are here to learn to care and help one another, not pull rank with war and hatred. With all the hoopla in government and religious righteousness, no wonder people chose atheism........

Absolutely. Everyone has the right to believe what they want and be who they want to be, but no one has the right to condem or discriminate others because they are of a different religion. Doing that puts you in line with racists.

Christians believe God loved us so much He sent His son Jesus to die for us that we may live with Him through eternity.Is that such a horrible thing to believe. Are we talking about killing anyone that doesn't believe like us. Just the opposite we teach love to everyone. We don't send anyone to hell, neither does God. People make their own choices.

First of all, the Bible does not teach that it is ok to kill anyone that does not share your belief. Thou shall not kill. Since I believe the truth of Jesus Christ, it is not a problem for me, the truth. Honestly, it sucks sometimes. I do not judge those who do not share my belief. Lest I be judged. All I can do is plant a seed. If it takes hold [as it did when I was dying] then it is up to Jesus to do the rest. Not me.

I think it -is- a wrong thing to believe, and certainly a wrong thing to teach children. If you believe that someone with a different view is not only going to eternal punishment but that this punishment is -deserved-, you tend to lose respect for that person.
Jesus certainly didn't make such distinctions. He said hypocrites and corrupt religious leaders would go to hell but he never told people, out in the countryside, that they had to believe in him or go to hell.
We humans have a way of looking at the world as in-group/out-group, us vs them. This probably goes back to early times, tribalism, primitive behavior. Jesus (and others) preached against this view. Jesus in particular believed in the brotherhood of man, that we are all neighbors. Strangely his words have been twisted to support exclusivity and elitism and exclusion and racism and genocide and all those bad things. Believing in One True Faith, and that others are going to hell is the basis for that.

No the Bible teaches that the way to God is through His Son Jesus Christ. This is irrespective of whether you share your faith or not. If this were the case, then our faith would be based upon our works and not the sacrificial Lamb Jesus. People contrast because isolated from intellectual integrity they are forced to do so. But Jesus simply said if you open the door to your heart I will come in and sup with you. He also said nobody can take your salvation away that is if one understands what this all means.
