Maybe but from what i have seen historiclly and personally the christian mind set is to push their way of thinking on all that they can. For example did you know that circumsisions are totally unneccessary but a man named Kellog thought it could stop boys from masterbating and so used his "scientific" authority to convience everyone that it was a good idea. He also wanted to use hydrochloric acid on the clitoris to stop girls from doing the same thing. This was all from his puritanical evangelical ideology. Today everyone is ashamed of their bodies due to puritanical evangellical ideology that being naked is bad. And finially women are concerned about their virgintiy even though it makes 0 difference on sex due to the puritanical evengellical patriarchal ideology. Love ya dear but history says the Christians are not harmless to society.
I never said there haven't been Christians out there who are bad people. But most of us are just normal, decent people. Remember, the comment that you are responding to up top is a reply to Chad, who specifically said "anyone who says they are Christian before American want a Theocracy." Yeah, that's obviously not the case.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
