Who's the most intolerant religious group?

Wonderment

I would like to hear people's opinions on intolerant religious groups? Who wins?

Somehow, I have this notion that Pentecostals would win 1st place, followed by Baptists, followed by JW's. What is your take?

You did a pretty good job of ranking them. Church of Christ can be pretty intolerant also.

Intolerant of what? Do you mean intolerant of other religions, as in, they believe most strongly that they are the ONLY true religion? Or intolerant in other social ways?

Yes, I meant intolerance of other religions and other views, that they strongly believe they are the ONLY true religion. Also, intolerance in the sense of agressiveness and tendency to mock other religions and views not equal to theirs.

Gotcha. I'll be interested to see people's views. I'm not well-versed on the variety of Christian faith.

It is not intolerant to have biblical convictions and reject false teaching. Most religions (apart from more universal ones like Unitarian or Bah'ai) believe they have the truth. JWs, Muslims, Mormons, etc. are exclusive and say one has to be compliant to be saved. Pentecostals (me) recognize 100s of fellow denominations that may even be anti-Pentecostal as fellow Christians. United Pentecostal Church (minority oneness sect) is intolerant and exclusive. Hundreds of millions of evangelical Christians are tolerant of many other denominations/churches (I even believe some Catholics are save), but there is no reason to say Islam or JWs are true. We tolerate their right to exist, but disagree with their beliefs.

I believe this discussion could go on and on without an agreement as to which religious group is more intolerant. I think the real concern is that they exist at all, whether they are mildly intolerant or not.

Okay Mr. Pentecostal.....why would some Catholics be saved and all JW's burn forever in hell?

Good point Think About It! I don't think anyone should bother waiting on their god, they could just ask godrulz what their eternal future will be. LOL

I would put JWs before Baptists. They have their own terms for other religions within themselves such as Cristendom. Or how about Babalon the Great.
