Everone says muslims are intolerant. But i find it opposite.i have seen this.why a persons rank is going down whenever he posts a discussion questioning the credibility of bible. now the rank is only 4.I think this man really wants t discuss. He wants the views of thers. So he started discussion. And people are ranking him down everyday. I feel bad. Tell me who will rank him down. I think it is the christians because he is speaking against the bible. Why are you not discussingf and creating enmity on mylot. I request everyone who reads this discussion to rank him nicely.I never expected this from mylot and christians. i though they are quick to forgive because jesus was a great man and he forgave but christians are not that good and are not good followers of jesus. because they cannot forgive a good man and discuss with him.

I really don't know exactly what you are talking about. Who is this person that you talk about? Who is ranking whom? I thought Mylot assigned the rank.
Anyway to answer your question, I think you are generalizing. There are some extremely intolerant muslims and there are some extremely intolerant Christians. I try to stay away from both groups.

See those little boxes with +, -, and ! in them? That's what they're talking about. You can give someone else's post a + or -, and it affects that person's ranking. The ! is for posts that break mylot rules.
I'm not sure exactly how much other people's ratings affect you, and how much of it is mylot's, but they have stated that it does affect your ranking when other people rate your posts. That's what the original poster is talking about. He believes someone is being rated unfairly by other users because of religious intolerance.
I stay away from intolerant people of any religion, so I'm with you on that one!

I think it's not an issue of members of a specific religion being intolerant, but of religious extremists being intolerant. I cannot think of a single religion that I have not known an intolerant person who belongs to. Even my own religion, for that matter.
As for the example you gave, it is possible that people are rating unfairly. It is also possible that these posts are written in a way that is disrespectful, rather than offering an honest, respectful discussion on a topic. I've seen a lot of people claim "intolerance" when really they were being rude to start off with. Since I haven't read the posts, I can't say if this what is occuring here, but it's a possibility.
Personally, I don't judge anyone based off their religion. I judge them off their actions, and how they treat others. As long as someone is being respectful of my beliefs, I will be respectful of theirs.

I think the fanatics of every religion chritian / muslim / jews and so on are intolerant. That's just the way they think and act. No religion is worse than the other.

I do not tink it is right for you to judge all christians by the acts of a few. It is not right for you to tell someone they are not a good christian. Just beacause someone is a christian does not mean they are not human. We all make mistakes. I think you should offer an apology for condeming so many people. It is not right for anyone to judge each other. who are we to jusge each other when we are so blinded by the darkness of the world? That is all in Gods hands.
