Congratulate their weak minded selves on being Christians. They are not Jewish, you shouldn't perpetuate that myth, and they can now join the likes of those that believe evolution is a myth.

Growing up fulling indoctrinated and then making a decision off on my own is different than my Significant Other doing so. The correlation to that would be my understanding what a heart transplant feels like because my SO had one. I can't fully understand.

You say "tolerance", I say "intensity". To go a step further, if I believe with all my heart, soul, and being that (insert your favorite fundie myth here) is right, how could I willingly go to a church with and possibly marry, someone who doesn't believe in that? I guarantee that I'm more tolerant than you, as I would never stoop to search for chances to make nasty remarks about someone on the internet. Tolerating means accepting people for what they are, not snarking at their every move.

RACooper and Rudey, yes, I know quite a few people of Jewish ancestory who believe in Jesus Christ. I have not "witnessed" to any of them; I do not know the path which they took to Christianity, for the most part. I used the terms which they use. If that offends you, I can supply some names & addresses, and you can take it up with them. They'll be positively thrilled to hear you judge their religiosity!

MTSUGirl, I understand that church is not a Sunday morning (evening) experience with you, and your need to only date someone who shares that lifestyle. An example would be a future missionary who tries to date someone who can barely stay awake through the Sunday service - it's not going to work.

Back to tolerance: I've seen the phrases: "fundie", "nutbag", "fanatics", "bible thumpers", and probably more derogatory remarks about believing Christians in this thread, and this message board in general - yet there's only the one battle between two men which has abused any other religion. I don't see this as being the much vaunted "toleration" worshipped by so many.
