People that 'preach' tolerance, tend to be intolerant of people that are intolerant.


BTW, just because one does not like something and advocates against it, does not mean that they wish to harm, kill, etc. those that like, do, or advocate for something. To call them intolerant or phobic is not always stating the truth. If something is not philic, that does not de facto make it phobic.

aphorism "if you're not for me you're against me"?

Rather than discuss it in this thread, I suggest
starting a thread on Religious Intolerance
in the SoapBox.

I think that may be a topic whose time has come.

(There are other kinds of intolerance.)

You start the thread and, if necessary, I'll move any appropriate posts over there.

I suggest that your comment, now the OP of this thread, is perfectly
valid and could remain here, although the motivation for this thread
is now in the other thread.
