Re: Is Chrstianity intolerant?

[(Anonymous)]

Christianity is based on writings from misogynist, homophobic, very closeminded people in the distant past

I think it's safe to say in and of itself it's intolerant

Re: Is Chrstianity intolerant?

Christianity is also based on the writings of people adverse to eating pigs and crustaceans. Doesn't stop most people from modernizing their beliefs to fit their more current views of right and wrong.

Re: Is Chrstianity intolerant?

In response to your claim that the writers of the bible were 'misogynist, homophobic, very close minded'(close minded is 2 words btw), I have a point of information (my boyfriend is an atheistic Religion major).

The collection of all books that are called 'The Bible' are actually translations of Greek texts, which themselves were translations of old Arabic texts that are no longer in existence.

You might be thinking "so what", but lets think about what we know about the ancient Greeks. We know that ancient Greece was divided into city-states and that the city-state of Athens in particular was were lots of intellectual type people lived. These intellectual type people are more than likely the type of people who translated 'The Bible' from Arabic to Greek.
We also know that love between 2 men in Athens was actually praised and seen as a really good thing. Ancient Greek does not actually have a term for homosexual, and even if 'The Bible' specifically brought up the issue of homosexuality, the Greeks would not have written anything inflammatory or negative about it.

The only reason that 'Christians' site 'The Bible' as an excuse for homosexuality is because someone decided to take a Greek text and have its translation say something that it was never intended to say.

If you actually think about 'The Church'(s) that use 'The Bible', they all originated from the first church started by 'Christ's followers, and that organization long predates the Greek 'Bible'.

The first Christians were actually very open minded. They all converted to the hippie 'love your neighbor' Christianity from various religions (like the Greeks and the Egyptians ones) that had know concept of acceptance of fellow man, or that all men are equal under God.

Also keep in mind that the original Christians were all members of the Jewish faith, a faith that historically has been almost always been fairly accepting of women and people of other faiths in comparison to its contemporaries.

Based on these facts (which are published in non-secular, academic journals by world class historians), it is safe to say that your argument that 'Christianity' is intolerant is completely unfounded.

Any and all 'misogynist, homophobic, very close minded' traits that are attributed to modern day 'Christians' have little to nothing to do with the faith itself, and are based on 'modern' impositions of belief onto a pre-existing 'Christian' faith system.
