Calling Christianity narrow minded is showing ignorance of the religion itself. People are too often spoon fed their beliefs and in doing so only contribute to the negative feelings associated with it. Christianity is the only large organized religion to practice complete forgiveness of ones sins. Muslims still use the eye for an eye doctrine...Hindus preach that your works here on earth define your next role in life and the Jews believe that God no longer truly cares for his people, as he once did in the Old Testament. Christianity in it's purest sense only preaches forgiveness and reward...not so narrow minded if you ask me.
