      Honestly, I tend to be disgusted by Christianity. I lose whatever pseudo-respect I might have for a person when it comes to their idiocy.
      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      Why's that? Do you think all Christians are alike?

      That's not the point.

      Belief disgusts me. Bigotry and inconsideration specifically. Slapping a term to yourself seems no less stupid to me either.

      This wasn't addressed to me but I made a similar point so I'll also respond.

      I don't treat all Christians as if they are the same because they are not. There are varying degrees of belief. I still automatically think less of Christians for believing in this nonsense, but the actual degree varies considerably.

      It can vary from "I generally respect that person a lot but they're being silly there" to "I have complete contempt for this person".

      I can also respect a person in one or more dimensions, or as a whole whilst still thinking less of them in regards to their religious beliefs.

      I find life a lot more interesting greeting others as equals and seeing through their eyes as well as my own.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
