Hello my dear friend, by any streach of interpretations, I don't really see any justification for what you stated. In case there are any inaccuracies in what I posted yesterday and today and will by God's grace complete tomorrow, please do kindly tell me. If I am wrong I will apologise. I do not call names, that was an overstatement. For I think here we do exchange ideas and not out for flaming rows. What I wrote or had written are just to be just and honest with myself. America is a great country whose generousity is being under looked around the world even by the greatest beneficiaries. What is the problem with writing it down? I won't be beaten into submission for what I know and will stand by it today, tomorrow and forever. On this, it was a great pleasure hearing from  you and I also want thank you reading me. Good Bless.

People in general tend to be narrowminded about whatever they believe
Yes, I have found many Christians can be narrow minded, but also I have found many non-Christians to be judgemental and close minded as well.  When I was in college, I was dismayed at the lack of tolerance of the free discussion of ideas by supposed "openminded" professors.  People tend to hold on to their own beliefs, whether they are Christian or not.

Mainstream religion is and probably always will be, very narrowminded and judgemental.  I doubt this will ever change.  The sad thing is that this attitude ultimately breeds hatred, intolerance and suffering.  Its rare when someone is able to see beyond what religion dictates.
