I'm sorry you feel that some of us Christians are displaying some unsavory behavior. I don't believe we are... or maybe I should say "they" are (the two ladies who saw the same movie). They are expressing a feeling that is coming from deep within their hearts. That feeling is pain, maybe some persecution and quite a bit of stifling.

What some don't understand is that when one believes the way we do, it is a passionate belief, strong beyond measure. It is as strong as it is because it has been proven to us to work where nothing else will. We love our Diety as much as He loves us. To deny that love and that care we get from Him is to deny our very existance and any purpose for our living. Without it, it certainly puts in great doubt the blessed hope we have for a joyous afterlife where there will be no more tears, pain, strife, etc. That's just a tiny snapshot of the whole story.
