Stevangelist, I heartily support your right to believe whatever suits you as long as you don't attempt to infringe upon my right to believe what suits me.

Where I begin to have problems with your words is when you make broad sweeping generalizatons like this one...

"I simply respond to anything anyone says to me in a way that is in accordance with my beliefs. Yet when the word Christian is mentioned, everyone feels perfectly OK about generalizing and making fun."

I submit that your use of the word 'everyone' is hardly fair, and is far from correct.
