Well, YOU may believe that, and that is terrific. I too was a Christian for over 45 years and, of course, know many for whom it is merely a social appellation, a family tradition, or just a good way to live one's life but not "Gospel truth". But many ARE intolerant, many DO believe that only through Him can you get there, and they don't view this as intolerance. In fact, one of the problems is that, being the majority, they often don't recognize their intolerance.
But this wasn't about Christianity (I personally have found the teachings a pretty excellent guidebook for living my life).
I have no urge to get into any kind of specific religious discussion and am quite certain Lindy doesn't want us to!

I am delighted that your heaven is so large. I will definitely ask for your neighborhood when I get there. :)

i am a Christian...we believe you all go to heaven. gays blacks..etc etc.. you are all children of God , he forgives you. welcome to the kingdom of heaven.

John, that's lovely.

But it's not fundamentalism. No one is criticizing Christianity. The criticism is of fundamentalism. Don't mistake criticism of fundamentalism for criticism of Christianity. Two different concepts.
