An Apology to the World: From a Christian

I read Ccons003's blog on Saturday, and something really disturbed me about it.  It helped me to realize how much Christians tend to mistreat people of other beliefs.  Yes, we do believe that our way is the right way, and the Bible is our final authority, but, come on, no one has a right to mistreat anyone.  It's not fair that people feel insecure about themselves around Christians when love is supposed to be the number one commandment for anyone who claims Christ.  So, for all you people out there who have been mistreated by Christians, and it turned you off completely from the Christian faith...Hold on, even if it didn't turn you off completely, I apologize for every jerk out there who thought it was his business to condemn you to Hell.  His business should have been loving you as you are.  So, once again...I apologize, and, yeah, I'm a Christian.

You did the right thing there and I agree, That's where a ton of christians mess up.

I usually don't mind religious people, as long as they don't impose thier beileifs on the world.

I agree. There's no need to bash other people's beliefs even if *cough cough* I believe mine is best, and I admit I'm guilty of calling other religions 'silly' or 'weird' or 'dumb' in the past.
Lately I've come to feel that since all other religions have such an odd similarity to Christianity that they may be simply eventual paths to people finding Christ.
