Thank you for your understanding, I know that many Christians aren’t – even as they claim they are with the same breath – tolerant of others’ beliefs (or lack thereof).

I think the only concern I have is what you were angry at. Were you angry at your mistake, or were you angry at me for not sharing your belief structure?

If it’s the first, then don’t be: people make mistakes, it’s how we learn to live better lives. Learn by it and move on up.

If it’s the latter, then I would advise that it would be intolerant of you not to respect my opinion. As far as I know, it’s every Christian’s duty to “share” what they consider the truth about the universe. I guess it’s the same with me, although I have no book or cultural background telling me what that truth is.

Now I’m not saying that I will be going out of my way, picketting churches or petitioning strangers, but if I happen to have a conversation with someone about this topic, then I will put my point of view across (and listen to what they have to say) and if they take something positive from it, all well and good.

Don’t beat yourself up over this – it was a genuine mistake. Learn by it, move on, be happy.

Regards.
