On another note: Why is it when someone proclaims their love of Christ they are bible-thumpers? Like it's a bad thing. Will people ever learn?
It all depends on how they do it. I have nothing but respect for someone else's religious feelings as long as they respect mine, or my lack thereof. If they don't have something to say about my views then I have nothing to say about theirs.

The problem is that there are a lot of people who are self-appointed messengers, and feel that if you do not share their beliefs that you must be converted. I am glad that anyone finds comfort in Christ, but if I don't, then respect my decisions like I would respect yours!

I dislike people trying to force their personal views upon others, and the SMALL section of Christians that do that are the ones that color the public's perceptions of all, unfortunately. I know better than to call all Christians that, but there are many people who don't.
