Many people like to say that Christians are bigots. This couldn't be farther from the truth. While there have been many bad people that say they are Christians, say Hitler, they all do something completely against the Bible, such as gassing Jews. Also, fun fact, Jesus and his apostles were all Jews. The lord God himself proclaimed Jews to be his chosen people. I don't think anyone who tries to exterminate Jews is very Christian.
So, back to the main point, Christians may be the most tolerant of all religions. “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
1 John 4:11 NIV
http://bible.com/111/1jn.4.11.niv
This verse tells us that we should love everyone, regardless of their ideals or beliefs. So, to put it into modern terms, it tells us to be tolerant.

[quote]The lord God himself proclaimed Jews to be his chosen people.[/quote] Here's the thing about that: God liked jews, sure, but then Christianity was invented. It's like God's Microsoft, the jews are the Xbox 360, and Christians are the Xbox One. Once the One came out, Microsoft kind of stopped giving a shit about the 360. The only problem with that analogy is that God hates jews.
