<quoted text>They where from people on here, and from people making comments in person. And yes, they state they are christians when I ask them. As far as my being negative it is only towards people who lie, try to force their beliefs on to others (using force and threats) and hate filled people, also people who say how they are good and every one else is bad but commit acts that show they are bad.
Oh, there is a church in a strip mall here where the man told my wife he was going to pour gas on her and set her on fire (he left quickly when I stood up) he went straight in to the church so fuck you christian!

@AreyouKidding, before you tell me I should not judge YOU because of what some nut did ask yourself if you condemn the Muslim religion because of what a few fanatics have done.
YOU are just as guilty of killing Doctors and employees at womens clinics and burning down the womens clinics as the christian nuts who did it.(and no, I do not believe abortion should be used as birth control and yes, it is murder)

No one crammed the Bible down our throats. We were children and were being taught.
You cannot force anyone to believe. Believing is a FREE CHOICE! FREE because Jesus paid the price on the cross
We started each school day reciting THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND THE LORD'S PRAYER.
Each person will answer for their own deeds when we stand before THE GREAT I AM. I will be held accountable for my deeds as each other individual will be responsible for THEIR DEEDS.
To the person whose Bible was stolen, maybe that person needed the Bible more than you. They must have if they had to steal it. Who knows? Maybe they read it!
It the person who took your Bible were to come to you today and return it and apologize for taking it, would you be happy?
Would you read that little book?
Personally I tried to read my Bible but it was a complex little book which was way over a fifth graders head, but still I repeatedly tried and I would like to think that little Gideon Bible planted a seed that only God could make grow.
Stuffing religion down a person's throat does not change them but the bottom line of the Bible is LOVE and that my friend, changes everything!
JESUS SAVES!
Have a good day!

You sound like a pleasant sort of religie One Tin Soldier. The end justifies the means, right?
It sounds like the indoctrination took seemlessly on you. FREE choice requires FREE thinking. The Bible wasn't that complicated. Unfortunately for the Elders, I actually understood what I read. For example:
The Lord's Prayer is recited every second of every day by untold thousands of people.
Matt 6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."
:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:" (NOTE that He says "how" not WHAT.)
So where do you read this as ok for a righteous teacher to dictate that a child babble the same thing every morning along with 20 other students?- Oh, gotcha.. you said it was "a complex little book."
Well, alright then, let's move on to the Pledge of Allegiance? Surely that is all hunky dory for Patriotic Christians - it has "under God" in it after all! Gosh Golly, Somebody forgot James 5:12
"Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned. "
Now how did that get in there?
It would seem that the majority of (ahem) Christians can't even get the most direct and simple instructions right.
The bottom lines of Jesus, the Bible and religion are only incidentally related.

I certainly DO NOT condemn the entire Muslim religion because of what a few fanatics did! I am more mature and open minded than that!
I actually condemn anyone who kills doctors and employees at women's clinics and anyone who burns down a women's clinic. So I am as guilty as they are!!! How ridiculous!!! You are again categorizing everyone when only a few committed these acts.

<quoted text>First, you may be the rare person that lives as you say you do. If so you are a better person than myself and many others.
That said, yes, with so many people acting in a general way I do have a right to judge the whole group that they represent. When I see the violence and hatred from so many christians, the con men and perverts who hide behind the church, the hypocrites that pat themselves on the back and say how they are so much better than every one else, while doing the same things they condemn others for doing.
But what really burns me up; YOUR religion is the one with a history of animal blood sacrifice, human sacrifice (yes, it was the Jewish not the christians)genocide, YET YOU SAY WE DO THAT TO CONDEMN US AS EVIL? Satanist do NOT kill unless it is necessary for the preservation of our own life, we regard all life as sacred. Yet you christians LIE about us, saying we do what your god commanded his people to do. ANSWER THAT!

I personally know hundreds of Christians who are not like that at all. In addition, I have done nothing to you. I have not tried to force anything on you. To categorize every Christian together and to make that comment to me when you don't even know me indicates your level of bias and hatred.

This is all based on our forefathers who FOUNDED this country. If you don't like it, move to Iran or Syria. You might be happier there.

Man created religion. End of story. One, they couldn't explain things that science now can and two, to keep all you sheep inline. Yall talking about the bible like any of you obey the guidelines set up in it. Yall have picked and chosen what suits you. Come on now. I don't want my kids reading that as anything but what it is..a great big work of fiction.
