Why are many Christians so intolerant of other religions and spiritual paths?

BL it makes a point and I figured I would have to explain it.
You are a racist- You try to cover it up with window dressing.
Much like that US saying of placing lipstick on a pig. Still a pig = Still a racist.
I can't account for your conversion, the material did not move me in the same way. You might say I went the other way.
Beaver: You speak in riddles. Or, it could be that I am just a dunce. What other way did you go? Schweitzer's dismissal of Christ turned you into a believer?
Go slow. My brain ain't too sharp.
Clifty: I am VERY tolerant of all religions that do not teach their followers that it is perfectly all right to attack innocent human beings; that do not teach that it is God's will to murder daughters that have "Stained the family Honor"; that teach that is is God's will to force others to join their faith or die; and those that do not rejoice when madmen of their religion commit acts that kill thousands of people.
I support any, and all, religions that teach peace and tolerance of others.
As the old saying goes, "Your rights end at the tip of my nose". That applies to religious rights too.
Funny, when anyone mentions atrocities committed by Christians (ie: the slaughter of aboriginal peoples, residential schools, etc.) Oh it is not the Christian religion that teaches these practices. Those people do not represent Christianity and other excuses. But when Muslims do commit atrocities all of Islam is to blamed. Have you ever read Leviticus or Deuteronomy? Where do you think the Muslims got those ideas from? The Koran is a plagiarized version of the bible.
Shall we all break out in a rousing rendition of "Give Me Some of the Old Time Religion"?

I don't think these atrocities are committed by Christians, but rather fraud artists who misrepresent themselves for whatever perks they can acquire.
I used to belong to a folk singing group and a rock band and most recently to a native drum group (if you have ever heard pow wow drumming you would know how challenging that is). But this morning I tried to sing along with one of my old favourite songs and my voice completely failed me.
Which organizations ran the residential schools? Which organization declared that since aboriginal peoples are not mentioned in the bible, they cannot possibly be human and therefore it is perfectly OK to kill them, enslave them and steal their land? Which organization started the crusades, sanctioned the slavery of blacks in America, burned witches, etc? What banner were they flying?
I think the residential schools were started with "good" intentions- to civilize the savages, or I should say "good intentions" by a bunch of meddlers who thought they were being "Christian" or maybe pretended they were being Christian.
Ain't that the truth.
As a side note: we had a gathering a few years ago (about thirty people). We were drumming (native and African - I do both), didgeridoo, Tibetan bells and singing bowl, rattles, flutes and singers. The jam was magic. I looked over at a friend who was literally floating above his chair and he had a look on his face that I can only describe as a spiritual orgasm.
Those "savages" were already civilized, it just wasn't the same "civilized" as their tormenters.
