Jo:
So, your view of PC "tolerance" would dictate that you insist that Christians behave themselves solely as YOU define "acceptable" behavior FOR them? Interesting.
What you're actually insisting is that Christians cannot counter the ideas that you say that you represent, because that would prove we are all "insensitive and intolerant", isn't that the actual strategy?
If your view is so tolerant, and you KNOW that their beliefs tell them to counter what they consider false beliefs which they believe will ultimately greatly harm people, why the pretense of your interpretation of their attempting to do what their beleifs tell them to, as superior to their own interpretation of what they are doing?
Isn't that in the realm of pretending to the "right" to be some kind of "though police"?
What about ALL sides being free to POLITELY discuss "IDEAS, as ideas?"
Are you simply afraid of that?
On a "chat board", should you veen EXPECT your ideas to be immediately accepted, and not "chatted" about? Why would you come here with that kind of expectation? After all, it's a chat board; right?
An alternative would be a board where only YOUR point of view is tolerated. That seems rather pointless to me; what with our common background.
Sincerely,
