Out of curiosity, what makes you believe that Christianity is a religion of tolerance? We adhere to, and teach that there is only one way to heaven. We proclaim the truth that there is one God. You were misinformed when you were told that this is a religion of tolerance.

Oh I don't know, how about every apologetics there ever was?
The mainstream or moderate Christians have been dragged into the concept of democracy, or free society.
You Fundies think your church is the only one that really counts, the true church, and that all others should follow you and your fringe beliefs.
Most the long_established churchs preach tolerance and understanding, that's where we get the idea from. Democracized or Humanist Christianity if you will.
The Fundie movement is indeed about hate and predudice, seperating yourself from the mainstream and including them in your attacks. Insisting your religion must be dominate, all must believe as you or they are adversaries. Like death-Cults do.
Oh I see your problem, you've mistaken the dishonest shit your preachers spew regularly as a hard and fast principle instead of the smokescreen it is. You forgot Christianity is based entirely on talk the talk but never live by it.
Well now you know, no matter how unreasonbly bigoted and hateful you are, theres a Christian church to fulfil your needs.

"We adhere to, and teach that there is only one way to heaven "
Only one , you say...?!
Romans 11:26-32: Jews - religious or not - are going to heaven, regardless of being 'saved' (Messianic 'Jews for Jesus') or not.
Tolerating a doctrine you're so stuck to, which destroys your own doctrine; and by [i]itself[/i] , no less. Tolerating the in tolerable: contradictions in the very basis of your 'belie fs' - with emphasis on LIE - which makes you fundies the worse -than hyper-hypocrites you are, you don't even have the right to think of protesting against legislation which renders your in tolerance, based on contradictory dogma, extinct .
Example: Sections 4 & 5 of the Public Order Act, ensures a UK equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church will never exist, because it - and it's unjustifiable religion-based bigoted mindset - doesn't have the right to exist here. We Brits don't tolerate in tolerance, y'see.
Like I say: Romans 11:26-32. The only ones you have the right to not tolerate, are yourselves .
Your own belie fs which destroy themselves. Enjoy your multi-dimensional paradox, Goatse.
What makes me think that Christianity is supposed to be a religion of tolerance? Oh, I don't know; perhaps the Bible...
"For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me" Matthew 25:35-36
"And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:31
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" Matthew 5:44
Doesn't the Bible teach that here are two ways that are each the only way to Heaven? It's either work and faith, or just faith.
"We adhere to, and teach that there is only one way to heaven. We proclaim the truth that there is one God. You were misinformed when you were told that this is a religion of tolerance."
Romans 11:26-32.
Would explain a great deal, re. certain sections of the right-wing, in recent years.
Certainly explains a certain kind of in tolerance by sections of fundie Christainity: If there is another way to Heaven.
Romans 11:30-32. Atheism & Homosexuality are forms of Disobedience too.
That would explain even more about your attitudes.
Out of curiosity, what makes you think that you are going to Heaven? Jerky, I'm looking at you .
Well technically it is tolerance.
I don't understand why anti-theists care so much that Christians tell them they're going to hell. Who cares honestly, it's just like a homeless crazy person yelling you're an alien reptilian. I wish all religions left judgment up to the god they have and scrapped the part about earthly punishments having to be dealt by the believers in this life. Crazy evil god is always preferable to crazy evil followers.
Confused?
