It amazes me when 'Christians' blast things like paganism. They inadvertently blast all other religions simultaneously.

When you say one religion is bad because they don't follow the same tenets as your religion, your saying ALL religions are bad because they also have differences that conflict with your beliefs.

To blast someone or their way of life merely because their beliefs are different from yours is discriminatory, and makes you a bigot.

I also wonder about self proclaimed Christians who try and 'convert' people by using hate rhetoric and threat of eternal damnation as a motivator. I mean, isn't Christianity based on love and understanding as the main tenets there? So how is it these people have gotten it so wrong they feel the only way to get people to follow them is to threaten or force them with bigoted, racial statements followed by verbal lambastings about their personal beliefs?

Is that the true message one wants to convey about ones religion?
