My spanish class in a nutshell.

Hi I'm Nestling and I'm going to pretty much regurgitate everything on here.
The thing that I really dislike about Christians is that they completely ignore the whole "LOVE AND TOLERATE" thing in the Bible. I'm blessed to not know any of these religious extremists, but I know that a lot of them do exist. It's been a problem ever since the whole religion started, leading eventually to the death of Jesus Christ, because they chose to not have faith in God and accept this man who was the Son of God, and had proven himself multiple times.
Christianity is a faith based religion. I teach a 4th grade class at my local church about religion, and many of our lessons are about faith. In fact, today, I taught about the miracles of Jesus, that Jesus saves. We used the story of the man with leperosy. He was ostracized by the community because you know, "Oh no, he has lepresy, he'll spread it! Shun!", but then Jesus came, and actually held his hand and saved him. Many Christians today are like the crowd that shunned the leper. They see someone and just go "He xxx? HOW UNORTHODOX! SHUN." instead of being more Christ-like and loving them.
Growing up in the church, my favorite campaign that we had was "Until the Whole World Hears"
Not "Until the whole world is" or "Until the whole world cares", but "Until the Whole World Hears" As Christians, we are meant to spread the word of God all around the world. We're not meant to force someone to believe or to yell at them until they recieve some sort of revelation. Our job is to inform people about the teachings of God and Jesus, to tell them that there IS a savior out there, and accepting him will save you and, by following his teachings, will lead you into eternal life in heaven. As I said, Christianity is a faith based religion. If people choose not to believe this, then that's their own choice, I pray that God will show them to his way.
There was a verse in the bible (I'm 95% sure it's in Revalation. Even though I'm a religious teacher, I'm awful at remembering passages.) that pretty much said "Let those evildoers be, for the power of God will punish them" or something like that (I have to be really careful about phrasing that, because with bible verses, literally one word off and I'll be spending the next 5 pages getting yelled at). Christians forget about this so much, and are just concerned about "EVERYONE MUST BE CHRISTIAN."
Really, reading all the replies in this topic, I find it silly how people are forbidden from learning about other things. How people are told to get off Facebook because "omg you might not support our religion!" For without confidence in what you believe, how can you truly believe. For blind faith means nothing. The reason I have such a strong belief in God is because he's always prevailed for me, even though I've been involved with so many things on the internet. Even though I've contemplated with atheism. He's always proven himself greatest, and I know that with him, I can accomplish great things. I don't blindly believe because my mom took me to church and I work at church. I believe because I have actual faith. The bible talks about the armor of God. It talks about the shield, the helmet, the. . . aglets (As I said, concepts, not specifics), but the biggest thing is the sword. I have a partner that I teach with, and he always says "xxx has his sword today!" when a child brings their own bible. If we're just left with censorship, then when people actually go to the world, and you know, meet. . .:O! An athiest! Their sword will be dull and inexperienced and they will be susceptible to failure, or they'll just look really silly and not really convince anybody that their religion is strong.
I really am sad that you've had to go through all of this. I've been going through a tough week too, but nothing compared to what you've been going through. Sadly, there's nothing we can do about this. There will always be those whom are religious extremists, and will go "SD:KGJKSDLJFKGLSJD INTOLERABLE" at everyone. Even atheists will do this a lot. I have seen many athiests go "Oh, you're a christian? Are you stupid or something?" and pretty much turn the tables on your situation.
Sadly, we can't really do much. For based off of our community that we spend so much time with, we are influenced that certain things are true. For instance, my dad is pretty racist, mostly because he was born in Michigan. If you look at his entire family line, he was born with blonde hair and blue eyes in the middle of Michigan, to a white family coming from the magical land of white people. He grew up believing that it was ok to make fun of black people, because of the beliefs that those people had in their community. Even if I were to come in and go "Hey guys accept black people there's nothing wrong with them", they'd still not be able to change their beliefs about the race, for they have their own premonitions, their own beliefs, and you know, the biggest thing that humans dislike is being wrong. We grow strong opinions about things that we don't even know, and we hold so truly to them, that when suggestions are made, instead of thinking about them and acknowledging them (even if we don't change out opinion), we just call them stupid and run away, not doing anything. It's a problem that will always exist, and situations like your friend's will always occur.
All we can do is just support each other in whatever way possible. It's sad that things like these exist in the world though. . .Christianity has gone from trying to be more Christ-like to trying to be right, and using whatever means to do so. Christ never forced the religion on anyone, he just showed them his power, and they believed. If they chose not to believe, then too bad for them.
I don't even know if this made sense, I just felt like typing this out. I gotten bored of writing my "baww" statuses on Facebook and need something else to invest my time in :<.
. . . but yeah why did you post this in FFtF, that's not a very good idea.

When suddenly, I find a pony dating simulator. Seeing that I enjoyed the pidgeon dating sim so much, I decided it would be worth a try.
So I'm a pony for 3 days. Trixie says that I look like a stud. so I walk around the not yet colored (or drawn) world of equestria and I somehow make it to a gravestone. Somehow, this causes Twilight Sparkle to appear. We go to her house and she says that she needs Spike for something. So I go and find that scaly weenieface. I find my way to a house, where DJ P0N3 (or however the hell people spell it now) is. Maybe she'd have information! So I clicked on her.
tl;dr home run was hit. The game wouldn't let me escape, so I was stuck watching my pony fufill his pony desires as I wonder "How the hell did I even get here?"
I never did find Spike, sadly.

I wonder how long it would take me to go from a random video on youtube to pony videos, if I just keep on clicking related videos until I find a pony video. . .

This reminds me a lot of that video about hating religion bot loving Jesus.
Pretty much, everyone started having religious discussions and stuff on Facebook. Everyone and their mother proclaimed "I HATE RELIGION BUT LOVE GOD." A lot of these people, after posting this, ended up not caring after a bit, or returning to just having religion instead of a relationship with God like the video praised. I guess it's not similar, because less people were informed of this whole "WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT HATE RELIGION, BUT LOVE GOD" at the time, but still :<.
The campaign has been going on for a really long time though o-o. I remember watching videos about it during like, 7th grade (I'm a junior in high school, now). I guess this just shows the power that social networking sites can have, or something.

It happened back when I was actually active :>
