i think Christians need to work on being more skeptical. I was in an evangelical Church for a while and they had people get up on stage every time someone wanted to testify to a 'miracle'. A kid comes up the microphone with a cast over his leg, and says that when he was worshiping the other day his pain faded. "Praise the Lord!" they all said, but what about the real explanation: the adrenaline and endorphine uptake upon jumping up and down with your friends in unison with the thought in mind that there's something out there that loves you. That's a cocktail that will ease anyones pain. Speaking of 'intolerance', they would also have kids come up to the mic when they ended a relationship with a 'non-Christian' and applaud... In a way I understand not supporting or encouraging inter-religious relationships as I would discourage atheists from dating Christians or any theist. I see disagreement on such a major controversy leading to problems in any relationship.
