Request from a Christian.

[Mystical]

This is a book, written by a Christian, explaining to other Christians that their actions have had a negative effect that needs to be rectified. I had admitted I am a Christian, Therefore I have the biases as a Christian. Again, this book is not on theology, im not going off on some tangent of why you should believe. Heck I didn't even want to get into a theological discussion in the first place till you guys dragged it out of me.

I can't speak for your conversations with others, but I can speak for our own. You asked for examples of negative ways Christians treat others including Atheists I gave you a huge list of examples, which you admonished but said is not true Christianity. At which point I made the statement that your inability to comprehend why your brethren do what they do is and should be, the heart of the problem in and with your book. The hypothetical one you haven't written yet. When posited for reasons why your "when in Israel" debunkery fails with words from the lips of Jesus, you threatened to leave. I think perhaps, you should sit and think on this a little. Go through my examples and ask yourself why they would do these things as Bible literalists , and feel justified in doing so? They themselves give biblical reasoning and quote bible verses. Ask your Christian community where they went wrong and you went right. Ask yourself what separates you from them? Because I guarantee what they'll say on the matter. That you didn't read the book enough . Thats the point here, its not to drag you into a theological discussion about your own beliefs--its actually constructively aiding you in your plight to write a book with your stated goals, in the first place by understanding the theological beliefs of the Christians you're writing the book about. A book which I personally don't think would be that bad of an idea!
