Now lets take a look at how the world today sees Christians. Not a pretty picture. We are all seen as bigots (though after reading some of zombie's posts, I don't think the atheists are ones to be using the word "bigot" for somebody else), and self rightous. This is unfortunate. Zombie seemed the think that every religion that ever existed was merely for self gain of those developing it. Christianity at its very base is not a selfish religion, anything but. Unfortunately selfish people have done selfish things in the name of Christ. Look at Jesus, and look at the apostle Paul, what great things did Christianity bring to them? Jesus was crucified, and Paul probably lived the rest of his days out in prison. These are the two men who would have had the most to gain from this religion had they had that intention in mind.
As Sean mentioned about how hateful Christians are towards gay people, the Bible never says to hate them, it does condemn them as sexually immoral, right along with protitutes and adulters. Why should Christians be accepting of their friend who is screwing some other guys wife and then condemn the homosexual to his face, telling him that God hate him because he is gay. This isn't what Christianity is suppose to be about. The Bible also condemns judgment of others, so where does this leave the guy who is going around telling gay people they are going to burn in hell? In fact, I bet I can find more verses condeming judging others than I could find condeming homosexuality. It may be hard for some people to accept, but God loves everyone, this includes homosexuals.
