Winnetou,
Firstly, I agree with Sr.Brandon’s point. Christians dont live up to Christ, we all fall short.
But

Apart from, if you dont share the faith why would you want to join let alone be accepted?Judging instead of charity (follow the rules, otherwise we do not accept you)
Good point. It is better now in many churches especially bigger ones where the church is running loads of fellowship stuff and life groups etc.Lacking appreciation of the problems and worries of single people (whoever has a problem it is HIS fault)
Again, no, the hatred is for abortion, churches I know give forgiving support for women who are troubled by abortions they have had.Hate for women who abort
Again, they don’t hate homosexuals, they hate homosexual practice, the idea that churches hate homosexuals comes from people who dont like the idea churches hate homosexual practice.Hate for homosexuals
The opposite. Love for everyone.Hate for everyone who is not like them
The opposite. Such criticisms mostly come from those who deny the Biblical message.Inability really to understand the biblical message.
The most intolerant people are usually those who call others intolerant. On the UK Equalities Commission it was the gay activist who objected to the Christian not the Christian who objected to the gay activist.Inability to live a modern and tolerant life.
Your previous remarks indicate you do have a problem with Jesus, especially as by denying His teaching you dont know Him.And these are only some of the points which I can lead. At first I did not have any problem with Jesus.
But thats it., Jesus said He is the way the truth and the life.This reminds me of my childhood somehow: My bucket is bigger than your bucket.
Then you have a problem with Jesus.It is an arrogance and insult of other religions, to claim by himself, to have the only truth.
Faith isnt science. From science we dont know how matter came into being.From science we know that there are both absolute and relative truths. And that "truths" can change e.g. if new knowledge is won.
No 'skin off our nose' We are perfectly happy to be considered feeble minded, we have chosen to be believe.I shall believe in such a feeble-mindedness? Please do not offend my intelligence!
