It is what it is Waldorf, people have been persecuting each other over their religious disagreements (even within their own parent faiths) for about as long as we've cared to record it. That you aren't out there stabbing catholics is a great testament to you, personally, not your faith, which has shown that it can, has, and will do exactly those sorts of things. Differing on "small" issues like the reasons for damnation, or descriptions of hell, are only small in the light of the difference that you all commonly have with atheists.."no god". I can see why you feel that these differences are not important when dealing with atheism, but it's dishonest to try and pass the whole thing off as a non-issue, I personally believe you know enough about the differences, history, and current events that you're being willfully dishonest for the sake of argument.
And with that, ignored.
Classy, take a shot and then run. If Christians all hate one another so much, how are inter-denominational schools possible? Please answer that. I never saw anyone tortured or persecuted while I was coaching there. You point to wrongs people of faith have done in the past but ignore the atrocities committed by atheists in the 20th century? We had no concept of what an atrocity really was until you guys came on the scene and showed the world. People doing evil just points out the need for a Messiah, so you are really only strengthening my position when you do such things. I won't place you on ignore though, you don't scare me any mate. :-)
