There is a lot of things that are not Christian accepted - however us who do not accept it, don't want to know about it - its really simple as.
Obviously, the rest of us who do not accpet the way of Christianity do not believe its a right thing, otherwise if we did and if we cared, we'd be all Christians - but we're not.
I must REALLY ask, how can you expect christians to understand you, and to empathise, if you cannot do the same yourself. Wether you believe we're helping or hurting the point is our intentions ARE good. For that, you owe us some respect! I respect othe religions trying to convert me, or telling me I'm doing wrong IF they have a point. Atheism=you die and are gone. You'd have no reason to convert me. That's just an example. But now, a muslim, you would. I respect that. Now there are bad christians out there, but the same can be said of athiests/wiccans/even buddhists.

People do not live on your good intentions. Imagine that you ran over a child with your car. Do you think it would matter much to his parents if it was not your intention to run him over? At the end of the day, whether it was accidental or intentional, their child was still run over. Good intentions do not entitle you to respect, good actions do.
To a believer, witnessing for the lord=Good actions/Non believer= Good intentions.
I keep seeing these porely designed examples. If you're going to make one, be fair atleast. It'd be more like. There was a kid, who was about to get hit by a bus, so you push him out of the way. This results in the kid breaking his arm when he stumbles and falls (representing someone being offended by christian beliefs), and you get sued. Good intentions...bad results. Still, you should have respect for trying to help. Imagine it: "I'm sorry I broke your kids arm while trying to make sure the trucker didn't break his head." 🙄

To the parent of the child with a broken arm, your intentions mean very little. The result is still a broken arm no matter how well intentioned you were.
Than ask them to stop, just like he (or she) did. Is it really a rocket science peopleguess it has to be rocket science cause they still do it
There was a kid, who was about to get hit by a bus, so you push him out of the way. This results in the kid breaking his arm when he stumbles and falls (representing someone being offended by christian beliefs), and you get sued.in Norway you cant get sued for that. As of now the people still have too much respect for the legal system for allowing that to have happened.
To the parent of the child with a broken arm, your intentions mean very little. The result is still a broken arm no matter how well intentioned you were.I think most parents would acknowledge the intention and be pleased with the result being just a broken arm, but this is just my take on it speaking as a parent.......... in a country were good deeds are rewarded not punished.
