Christians didn't become more tolerant and open minded as opposed to followers of other religions.

They became worse when compared to the past. They stand for nothing. Not the good of their values and not the bad either.

Just themselves and their own ends.

Go ahead and get offended, i don't care .

Christians didn't become "more tolerant" spontaneously, ever, in their history. They were forced to. Religious freedom was paid with (a lot of) blood

@Elessar I don't see the tolerance.

@Miram Well, if I made the comment above publicly back in the 1600s I would be on a barbecue right now 🍖🔥

@Elessar

That is not what defines tolerance




sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.


While they wouldn't set you on fire, their reaction would still be resentment, ridicule, aggressiveness and the desire to impose their opinions instead.

@Miram Eh. Good point.
@Elessar
there is satisfying knowledge which makes you joyful
and there is forced schooling.

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”

Those who are in Christ are distinguished from unbelievers in that they have been gifted with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to bear fruit
