Paul: Please take a look at my many previous comments regarding Christianity.  I think you will see that I note and emphasize that there is a great diversity of Christian belief......from generous, compassionate and understanding to "Hellfire and Brimstone"  I am well-aware of the diversity.  My wife is a very active member of Unity of the Valley Church in Eugene and I honor the compassion and humanism of that Church and its members.  I also remember attending a marriage of a gay couple which was "picketed" by a group presenting themselves a Christians and condemning the couple to Hell.  Yes, indeed, there's real diversity in the Christian religion.  I have no quarrel, nor do I mock, anyone "seeking a pathway to peace and reconciliation with our social an natural word (world?)."    

Stereotypes of Christians? Hardly.  I know Christians who are great, understanding, compassionate caring people.  I know others who are bigoted, nasty condemning individuals. (cont)
