Religious Tolerance (X-posted to my Myspace)

(Yeah I know I said I was taking a break from updating, but I have to rant, LOL)Alright, if you don't agree with a particular religion, fine. State your reasons why you have a problem with them and be done with it. But don't whine and bitch about people being intolerant of your religious beliefs (or lack thereof), and then show the same amount of intolerance by either mocking or excluding their religious beliefs. Don't accuse people of being religious hypocrites when you are one yourself. It's called "the pot calling the kettle black", and when you lower yourself to their level, you are really no better than they are.This was partly brought on by something that happened at a forum I admin at, where the person was more or less mocking and disrespecting Christianity, and I called them on it and axed the thread. And this person actually became upset about it and felt they were perfectly in the right to post what they did, and I was in the wrong! (although they did apologize later on). Now, I'll admit to having a few issues myself with the attitudes of some "Christians", but overall I try my best to respect their beliefs. So I can't stand it when other people feel the need to trash another religion and use the "well they started it!" mentality to justify it. It ain't cool.Also, today I was doing a search for Myspace groups. I came across a Christian Universalism group, which seemed pretty cool at 1st. But yet on down the page, in big bold letters, it reads "No Pagans, Unitarians, or Unitarian Universalists allowed!" Well gee, so much for tolerance. I would hope that especially the more liberal Christians would be more open and accepting of other beliefs. IMO this kinda goes their teachings - which states that all souls will eventually be reconciled to God. You'd think they'd want people of all faiths to join in and hear their message, not just those who believe like they do.I realise that there are good/bad Christians, Jews, Wiccans, Atheists, etc... No belief system is perfect as far as their followers go. I dunno, I guess I'm just really fed-up with the idea that a person has to disrespect a certain religion just because they don't happen to agree with it./rant
