The NY Times is surprised that we religious kooks are tolerant of other religions. I guess they expect us all to be like certain religious people who cut off the heads of those who disagree with them.

You’re beliefs must not be very strong if you’re not willing to kill others over them.

Michael Lindsay's reasoning reminds me of a fallacy in my college logic textbook:
Major Premiss: American Indians are disappearing.
Minor Premiss: That man is an American Indian.
Conclusion: That man is disappearing.

It could be that people are not very well educated and they are not expressing mature theological points of view, said Todd Johnson, director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Unfortunately, there is something to this. Look at Oprah, and many other people like that. What does she believe? I'm not sure it's well-defined. She just thinks things are good, things work out, you should behave, be a good person, don't be afraid ...
This is not a mature theological point of view.
I don't expect everyone to be able to recite the Apostles' Creed, but some folks know what they believe and a lot of other folks are kind of winging it.

Jesus died for the nations (all people) and I don’t care what the NYT or anyone else thinks. I will tell all people of Him.
