I have no problem at all with moderate Christians. I've known some with deeply-held beliefs who seem to truly live the spirit of the Bible and Jesus, and do not have an unkind or intolerant bone in their bodies. If that's what genuine Christianity is then I'm all for it, they would make the world a better place.
I do have more trouble with fundamentalism in all its forms, especially when its unquestioning dogma clashes, in my opinion, with people's freedom to live their lives without fear of oppression or denial of their human rights. I feel that many fundamentalist beliefs violate those things. I'm not just talking about Christian fundamentalists. And as far as I am concerned they are free to do what they want to, until they start taking on the power to dictate to others as well. I very strongly oppose states forcing teachers to teach creationism in science classes. I firmly believe that children should be educated about the world, whether it is science or sex or whatever. They might feel that certain things are sinful or not, or their parents may feel that way, but for my part I will not leave them in the darkness of ignorance.
I'm happy to talk about these things if you can do it in a civilised way. You've frankly been rather rude and don't seem to think any kind of apology is called for, so I'm not holding my breath.
