Honestly, this is a weird question to ask.
It's basically grouping everyone into a big group and then trying to judge them as a group rather than as individuals. I prefer to look at individuals than groups. When we group people together, in order to try to get a big picture, sometimes we miss out on the smaller pictures.

Personally, I have nothing against Christians. I was raised that way and it's been a long ride to get over my anger towards them, but I have found a way to have my own personal belief without being tied down by either submission to a belief that has flaws (Christianity) OR simply believing in an antithesis due to my frustration of being raised with a belief that has flaws (Atheism).

"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me."
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day." 
There's no middle of the road option or a fuck all polls option so I can't answer. To answer yes or no only, would be dishonest of me. I like some of the Christians here and others I don't. I go on a case by case basis. grouping everyone together isn't fair as it's just generalizing every christian when clearly, some are much nicer than others.

Some of the things people have said have been interesting and surprising to read. I'd be curious to see where people generally stand. Yes. 
I'm all for having a diversity of backgrounds, beliefs, and view points. Even the ones that come off as preachy, and forceful about their theist beliefs. It can be interesting and revealing to observe how people respond to such an encounter.

I will always give flat earthers, antivaxxers, moon landing hoaxers, homeopaths and theists the benefit of the doubt.
I'm like that... I can find humour in any topic really  The more the merrier.

The moon landings were faked by big pharma to discredit natural remedies and to push the false notion that the Earth is round and is part of the action being taken by the Reptillians to take over the planet and discredit the real leader of the planet, Walt Disney, who they keep imprisoned in cryogenic suspension under the Pentagon. They also caused 911. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" |
