I agree with your post about the demigods wanting to be accepted by everyone else, those few to me are not the majority of the minority of the people who want to be left alone. To me those few do not believe in the same God as I do so in reality there is no need to be tolerant to their deprivities. I'm tolerant to those who practice God's law by living through his teachings, mocking God by living in sin is their choice but I don't have to go out of my way to help that person. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't pull over on the side of the road if they had car problems or give them a bottle of water if I had an extra one. So you see as long as they are not mocking God in front of me, who am I to believe that they are living in sin. It's the same as the people on this site that I have had issues with who believe that the left is practicing tolerance of those who are Christians. We know that this is not the case because of the hate the left is sending to those who have no faith in God, those people are going out of their way to inflict violence because they don't have tolerance for those who want to live differently then they do.This is the only part of your post I dont agree with. I thought to myself " you mean tolerant like Jesus was with the money changers in the temple"? Tolerant as when he called the Pharacies " you brood of vipers". Tolerant as when he said he didn't come to unite, but to divide a son from father, a daughter from mother etc.
You have the right idea lunk, but we must differentiate between tolerance and acceptance. The gay and even pedophyle community doesn't want tolerance they want acceptance. We can accept them as fellow sinners, but they want us to affirm their sin like the ELCA country club does. That's a no go for me.
The majority of the Christian people want to be left alone, to go to church, raise their families, and work hard so they can have a piece of the American dream.
