I have learned that some Christians are not bad (though there are very, very few. Most just shove their religion down your throat with no respect for yours or your lack of one).
This...upsets me as much as anything else in this situation. As a Christian, I don't know what to do about the fact that for so many people, Christianity is something to be treated with caution at best and reviled at worst because it has hurt them. I want to be offended, but I've personally gotten this response too many times to take offense anymore. I know A LOT of Christians who are wonderful, tolerant, loving people who don't want to shove their religion down anyone's throat. Unfortunately, they are not the most visible, or the most vocal contingent. That prize goes to the crazies who make people think that all Christians are intolerant bigots.
