Present day???

Muslims, man, Muslims...

Well, MOST fundamentalist Muslims, that is...

But in the past - hmm.... There's the Christians, the Aztecs, the Philistines who sacrificed their own children - allegedly sacrificed their own children... But that wasn't due to intolerance, come to think of it...

I wouldn't rank Westboro Baptists as a real religious group...they are a fanatical cult, more political than religious.

I am Zid...fundamental/radical Muslims win hands down. JW's may wish they could kill you if you disagree, many predominant Muslim countries will oblige you. If you are a Muslim and convert to another religion, you subject to the death penalty under Sharia Law...I'd say that is pretty intolerant!

Think About It

They affirm a sound doctrine of God including the trinity.

Godrulz.....in your posts you mentioned several religions where all members will burn forever in hell because they do not believe the Trinity, or basically because they are not Pentecostal.

What about Oneness Pentecostals? They do not believe the Trinity....do they live or burn?

Oneness Pentecostalism

Main article: Oneness Pentecostalism

The Oneness movement, which eventually arose from the Finished Work branch of classic Pentecostals, differs from the rest of Pentecostalism in several significant ways. Oneness Pentecostals reject the doctrine of the Trinity. They do not describe God as three persons but rather as three manifestations of the one living God. Oneness Pentecostals practice Jesus' Name Baptism—water baptisms performed in the name of Jesus Christ, rather than that of the Trinity.

Hi Ten Yrs, after..Loved that band... You said something about Shania Law.

I believe in the Shania Twain law: "If you're in it for love, I'm out of here" Now, that's really intolerant.

Sorry, I wrote that wrong it was, "If you are not in it for love, I'm out of here"

It was the arthritis in my fingers, acting up again.

Glander

either way is acceptable

Wonderment

The belief that just ONE religious group has the priviledged rights to TRUTH and everyone else is wrong is shortsighted. There is no evidence that one religious faith has the keys to the kingdom to the detriment of everyone else. God is more universal than that. He inspired the Scriptures and made them available for everyone. Even criminals in prison have acces to the power of the Word, and some have been transformed by its message.

Religion attacks serve the interests of Satan better than it serves God. Scripture says: "Who are you to judge your neighbor?" (James 4:12; Romans 14:10)

Thus, it becomes a test of our faith to keep a humble heart. Only God and Christ have the prerrogative to pass judgment. At the same time, we need to defend truth as we understand it, but acknowledging our limitations in power and knowledge. We as individuals cannot guarantee anyone eternal doom by carrying a label of a certain brand of christianity. I remember how JWs frequently implied how certain individuals in the kingdom hall would not be in paradise for lack of service activity. How foolish! We certainly don't want to go back to that premise by doing the same thing here in this forum. The Talmud reports somewhere that the religious arrogant in Jesus' day used to say of the "unlearned" (‘am ha-arets) how they would not be resurrected. And you know how Jesus felt about this self-righteous people... Mat. 23.

I think Muslims are more violent than others because they have the means for that. I wonder if there is a difference in mindsets.
