As far as I'm concerned, the "better" christian you are, the worse you are as a person. I have observed this trend to be very accurate throughout my life. Pretty simple really, the more shit that you take seriously in the bible, the more horrible shit you do.
The bible has always repulsed me. It's so hard to read, too. It's crazy that people will follow a book that was written thousands of years ago, too. Times are so much different now.

That depends. What kind of person do you want to be?

Welcome to the forums.
I am already the person I want to be.

Well that depends on what it means for you to not have tolerance for a group.

Then there's no need to change. Give 'em hell (metaphorically speaking).
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Congratulations for escaping dogma.

It's liberating, isn't it?

Yes, it is liberating. I have just grown tired of being preached at and told I'm prayed for by Christians. I don't tell them to change but I really don't like their company any more. I am a pretty polite person most of the time. I believe to each their own. I guess I'm really glad to be an atheist and here at this site among those who really understand things.

Well, then at least the altar boys were safe for once.
