Speaking from a Christian perspective (that's my beliefs): I find it interesting that a self-proclaimed Christian would discriminate against anyone no matter race, sex, creed, etc. It goes against what the Bible teaches. It's the foundation of "hate the sin, not the sinner." God is love. God is not hate or discrimination. If you, your children, or anyone close to you have experienced discrimination at the hands of a Christian, I am deeply embarassed, and say that person isn't practicing the faith in which they claim to embrace. There is so much in God's teachings about love, that there is no room for doubt. "Love Thy Neighbor as yourself". "Love eachother as Christ loved the church". And the list goes on... God's teachings do NOT say: "Love They Neighbor if he believes in me", or "Love eachother if they share your same beliefs."

My daughter is only 4, so we've not had deep religious discussions. However, I won't be teaching her that Aetheists tear up Bibles, hate God, and are empty, soulless people. I won't be teaching her that Muslims blow up buildings, Jews despise Christ, and Buddhists worship a short, fat guy. If I did this, wouldn't I be going against that which I profess?

I will teach my daughter that everyone holds worth, everyone deserves love and respect, and everyone is God's creatures no matter if they are different in any way. I believe that is what God teaches and that is what God wants.
