It's wonderful that many Christians do show respect for others, despite sexual preference or beliefs or lack there of. If every Christian was tolerant, I'd have nothing nasty to say about them, I'd be praising them for being so decent. I'll still think their beliefs are a little... weird but I'd have a lot of respect for them.
As Bertrand put it "Love is wise, hatred is foolish". Would be nice if every Christian knew that, and Muslim. Tolerance encourages peace, intolerance encourages conflict.
Let me get this straight: because Christians say such nasty things about some other group, it's okay for you to say nasty things about them.
Does that mean I can say nasty things about you, on the same principle?
