Your carefully worded post is accurate as far as it goes, but tolerance for opposing viewpoints and other people does not necessarily mean tolerance for deviant behavior or perversion. Often a Christian's condemnation of intolerable <i>activity</i> is viewed as an attack on the <i>man</i>, not on the act. I would be curious to see you explore the hypocrisy of attacking Christians as being intolerant... Excellent rebuttal to the “Christians are intolerant” generalization.

I plan on more fully examining this entire issue of "tolerance" in future posts. I feel an examination of what constitues "morally appropriate" action is called for, as well as an exploration of the double standard of "tolerance" applied to Christian as opposed to other social groups. Thank you for the insightful comments. You’re right, Cody. I plan on more fully examining this entire issue of “tolerance” in future posts.

I am to discern the truth, but not judge the people whose opinions differ from my own. Well written and supported. It's a pleasure to read your blogs. I think what you wrote is really good.

The redefinition of words seems to be a common humanist game. Take a word that sounds good to everyone and then define it to mean whatever you want. Of course "science" is another word with which this game is played. You make some great points. The redefinition of words seems to be a common humanist game.
