My grandmother who is hardcore baptist didn't like me reading Harry Potter when I was younger and when I told her I was thinking about attending Catholic mass and converting to catholicism, you would have thought I had shot somebody.
And I think I wouldn't have a problem with some of those hardcore assertions if the people who push them didn't live a double-standard themselves (not saying your grandmother does obviously). Practice what you preach so to speak.
It drives me crazy when I see how catty it gets between denominations too. My Catholic great-aunt told my Baptist grandmother that my grandfather (who was Catholic growing up and converted to Baptism when he married my grandmother) at his funeral that he was going to Hell because he didn't receive his last rites. Forget the fact that he would give you the shirt off of his back and was one of the most selfless people I've ever met.
Some of the best Christians I know don't advertise it or show out over it. They're not preachy and live a very "to each his own" kind of life. Unfortunately a lot of churches these days are full of the exact opposite.

I agree. I think it is sort of the nature of the beast, and Christianity will always perpetuate this problem because of its inherent contradictions and fallacies. Just my opinion though.

One of my first boyfriends was from a devoutly Catholic family. My mom told me he would eventually break up with me because his parents wouldn't want him getting too close to someone who wasn't Catholic. I told her that was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard, but a few weeks later he did exactly that. And said his parents didn't want him serious about someone who was Baptist. And I told him that was dumbest thing I'd ever heard and that was that.

This is how I try to be. I do the best I can do. But I try to avoid telling others how they should livd live their lives. I'd rather be a quiet example, if I can.
