Are we calling for political correctness on the free republic ?
I just found some gold tablets out back and am starting a new religion based on em. I hope I’ll get the same tolerance myself.
It’s possible to disagree wtih someone without being disagreeable.
You get extra cool points if you know who said that.
I just found some stone tablets up on Mount Sinai and am starting a new religion based on em.

Maybe you can start a world wide religion and have 13,000,000 members. I doubt it though.
Its no less plausible than the "God spoke to me and only me and I wrote it down for you" origin of much of the Bible.
You will. That is the beauty of America.
Of course I can tell from your smarmy sarcasm that you don't care for that beauty.
Did you hear about the one where Jesus returns to Earth,
and is asked by a collective of the heads of the world’s religions,
“Did you come to tell us which of our religions is the RIGHT one?”
Jesus said: “No. I came to tell you that they are all wrong.”
I heard a story about some dude that tried to fit in, but was from another world. The government went after him and his followers. He died, but rose from the dead and ascended into the heavens.
It was the movie “ET”
If we start talking about character and actually living a Christan lifestyle....proportionally....the Mormons whoop the Baptists....hands down. Having grown up in a dry county...in the midst of Baptists....I found over half of them who professed “faith”...were actually without character and very unchristian-like. I’m almost 50 now...my old hometown church and its deacons? At least three of the deacons are KKK members and two are absolute heavy drinkers, with one guy who has arrested once for violence against his wife.
My political correctness is basically turned off, and I’m on true-observation mode. Being in or associated with the military for 30 years....I’ve known over twenty Mormons. None of them were drinkers...none were ever arrested for bringing harm to a family member...and none were of a behavior that I thought questionable. I have yet to meet a “bad” Mormon.
I can’t do a blessed thing in my old home town to improve the image of Mormons because the Baptist confirm it there...as a “cult”. Even my brother sits there and laughs about the labels that the minister has placed on the group...and sitting in the back of the church...are at least eight teenage guys who have red-eye balls from heavy drinking and partying the night before. The minister doesn’t say much to correct their action.
In my book....actions speak louder than words. This isn’t about tolerance or intolerance. Its about respecting folks who have real Christian behavior, and display it on a daily basis. I’m purely sick and tired of commercialized religion...who just sign up for something to be in the “in-crowd” and don’t want to live the lifestyle. That never was the reason behind Christianity.
