FYI, Christianity is a universal religion with a rich and complex history. It's a lot bigger concept than can fit into books which reduce it to an exclusive club for conservative Republicans.

If you already have a faith in the Bible you will probably find a book called "The Intolerant Christ" informative and interesting. If you don't believe the Bible then...well....you know.....dont worry about it. Lots of love... P.S.

He that believeth not shall be damned". (Not TOO tolerant). He said "Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." And Paul said "The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel..." Of course you probably didn't know about these words. Now the book of Revelation quotes God Himself as saying that the abominable would have their part in the lake of fire. It would be pretty cruel of God to say something like that without informing us of which things are abominable and which things aren't. Fortunately we are told which things are. According to the Bible homosexuality is. So....you know...if one believes the Bible one has no choice but to side with God. Not people. Jesus said His followers would be hated. At one time I would have found that statement hard to believe. But not so in the last 10 years or so.

The most vivid examples involve sexual preference, which obviously has highly personal and emotional overtones. Tragically, these divisive social questions have even been moved to the forefront of the presidential election scene. At the same time, almost all Protestants now condone divorce as acceptable, and rarely emphasize fornication or adultery, although these sexual acts were repeatedly condemned by Jesus. It is much easier and more convenient to focus on sins of which we are not known to be guilty." Jimmy Carter in his book, Our Endangered Values, comments:

Mr. Oatney and Graham must truly be members of the Lord's Anointed seeing as how they have access to a version of the bible that the rest of us have never seen! Ummm...if there was anything that Christ loved it was bashing gays and protesting abortion clinics? Right on! I agree with Elmer.
