I'm a Christian so...

I haven't done any rants in awhile but I feel like I must rant now.

So as you all might know I am a Christian. (You see that under my username so you know my convictions already).
Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'm not credible. People are always saying things like Christians shouldn't judge, Christians aren't tolerable. They say things like "Christians are a bunch of religious, Bible thumping, soup box preaching, fundamentalist, fanatics. Christians should learn some tolerance". Or they think we should just shut up and mind our own business and not vote. WE can vote. WE'RE American citizens too, whether you like it or not.
But when is someone going to tolerate me and my beliefs? So I don't agree with some things. Sex before marriage, gay marriage, abortion. This does not make me some kind of fanatic. This does not make me racist. This does not make me a "Bible thumper."  The thing about my beliefs is that I'm not allowed to be any of that stuff. I have morals. I have convictions. I have a sense of right and wrong.
The thing is; all other religious systems in American are tolerated and nobody gives them any kind of problems. As soon as a Christian does something or says something against a certain matter or simply talks about God they're in trouble with the law, they get suspended from school, they have to pay fines, they get beaten down about it. They are told to basically SHUT UP!
So where does tolerance come in if I can't even express how I feel? If I can't tell people about God if they ask, because I'll offend someone else? Offend someone else? Nobody cares if I get offended.
I am a Christian but I'm also a person, a human being. As soon as I become a Christian it doesn't mean I become less human. It doesn't mean any respect people had for me should go out the window because I believe that God created everything and his Son died for me.
Now there are people online that I talk to who give me trouble because I think certain things are wrong (yaoi, yuri, incest, abortion, gay marriage, beastiality, sex before marriage) why should they care? It's not like I'm getting into a fight about it. I just don't think gay marriage is right. Does this mean I hate gays? No, it does NOT. As I've said before my religion forbids me to hate anyone. This also doesn't make me a homophobe. A phobia of any kind is a fear. I am scared of things... spiders, sharks, deep water,... but I'm NOT afraid of gay people.
As for yaoi, yuri; that goes under the same category. I'm not into that kinds of thing but that doesn't make me a homophobe either.
I cannot be called intolerant because I don't like certain things or agree with other things. I cannot be told that I'm a snobby person who condemns everyone. I happen to have a friend who's a witch. I don't push my beliefs on him but if he asks me about it I'll tell him. If he doesn't; I won't talk about it. I don't condemn him.
Now some of you will probably disagree with me and some of you might agree with me. Some of you might not like me anymore but I'm not pushing my religion on you and I'm not being a "fanatic". I've seen some of the things other people get into and I'm called the "fanatic"? What makes me a fanatic? That I believe in God? That I have a sense of right and wrong? That I have morals and convictions? That I'm 20 and still a virgin? Just because I believe in purity, love, compassion, in a God that created everything, DOESN'T make me a fanatic. It doesn't mean I'm not credible. It doesn't mean you can judge me, treat me in a way you wouldn't want to be treated.
If you're gay; I don't hate you. If you've had an abortion; I don't hate you. If you are into things I don't agree with; I won't condemn you. I love you all and I care about you.
I guess that's all I wanted to say. Please don't think any less of me. I'm still the same person and if you liked me before this shouldn't make you like me any less. Good bye and God bless.
