obviously i am asking this question to other non-christians...


i think i should be tolerant of other people's beliefs, not impose mine on others, and so forth... i don't hate christians or anyone else, but when i discover that someone is christian i begin to think less of them.

there are so many things i have against christianity, and i often think of the many things it can be held accountable for. i don't want to get into that here because that would lead to another huge discussion, and it's easy to go on and on..

so... it seems i am prejudiced against christians.

including when it comes to my family. my parents are not christian (although they were brought up that way) and they never tried very hard to make me conform to whatever standards they were raised with. as a teenager they never stood in my way when i was trying to figure things out for myself. but the rest of my family is mostly christian and i'm somewhat ashamed because of it. this is partly because of our history - i have a lot of respect for the certain types of paganism and native religion practiced by relatives further back in my family tree. i am disappointed that i was never allowed to be a part of that because my more immediate family forgot about it to be 'naturalized' in the christian community.


does anyone else have similar thoughts? i want to be less bitter when it comes to christianity in the context of culture and history, and maybe more open to certain people around me, but it's hard!
