Why do so many Christians think they are normal? They get so upset when people simply don't understand their undying devotion to an unseen, unheard old man who loves you so much that if you disobey one of his many rules he will send you to a fire pit. They routinely serve alcohol to minors and sprout nonsense about loving ones neighbor.
I know some of them claim they were born this way, but ask them for evidence and they point to sacred text dictated by the unseen old guy to a bunch of hermits and outcasts. No, they recruit the young. They spread disease. They spread intolerance. And some, I assume, are good people.

They're normal, for Xtions. You have to
expand your parameters on what
normal is. I just got done having
a 6 year discussion on the other
forum with a priest. He tried to
convince me I was the abnormal
one because I'm an atheist. He
missed the mark..

Born this way? Not at all. You must learn it. Mankind is generally bad, and evil to others. You have to learn to treat your neighbor well. You have to learn to do good, as human nature does not program for that. Sorry if the basis for western society is "intolerance" to you, but in anything there are some rules.
