CjTenorSax: There have been books written on the subject. There is one that I stumbled on that blew me away. it also helped me to think outside the box.
I wish I you knew the name of the book. I wouldn't mind giving it a read!

define a true Christian and who decided in the definition ??
If you look at the bible or the Koran no one can be a true believer in the entirety of either without being a bigot

True believer in God = love - irrespective of
Religious bigot = indoctrinated - judgement - narrow mindedness - self-rightueousness
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
True believer = OPPOSITE of bigot
Because bible AND Koran = doctrines
Who says to be a true a believer in God one has to follow a doctrine?
Hang on!!! I'll answer my own questions!!! I know who says that!!!! The doctrines within the bible and the Koran and many other doctrines under many other "religious" names ...

Conrad73: Walking the Walk,instead of Talking the Talk (Dogma)
That would be the only religious bigotry I have...I don't like those who Talk the Talk, but then don't Walk the Walk.
I had a guy that was interested in me, but told me that many people (at the club we both hang out at) were telling him to stay away from me because I'm strange and different. I know who some of them are, and I know why...I am openly Pagan in a place where racial and religious bigotry run rampant. I am uniquely me in an area where "different" is shunned. Those same people who have said that are nice to my face and talk to me, and cling to their belief that they are Christians. Yet, if anyone there needs help, I am there to do so. I have donated things to the club and helped people there who needed it. So....who Walks the Walk of their beliefs? I find it interesting.
One of them, I said it was because she's Christian and I'm Pagan, and he snorted, and said, "Kerrie is not a Christian!)
Oh, and not all at that club are like that...that's why I stay, despite the knives in my back. I just ignore those, and keep being me.
Morning, everyone!------ This thread is Archived ------

I thought the question was about being (oe not) a religious bigot ...
With my "own version of God" my own beliefs would only be doctrines IF and WHEN they (my beliefs) were turned into "teachings" ...
Smart boy (you know why)

Absolutely, Flower! That's why I'll discuss my beliefs, but never do I try to convert or persuade anyone to them. I only talk about it if someone asks, or the conversation comes up and others are presenting their beliefs.------ This thread is Archived ------

As someone pointed out earlier Dru ... good job we weren't born in earlier centuries or we might have been burned at the stake!!!!

I personally feel like the Bible has been tampered with early on to fit in with the agenda of early empires through church/state influence. That agenda? Well, I'd sound like a conspiracy theorist if I elaborated.
