Post 543;Intolerance and discrimination are fine, if you do it for the proper reason.

So what are the *right* reasons for intolerance and discrimination?

And for the record, you still haven't answered the question of why you felt it necessary to ping JR when you posted to me.

Why was that?

I gave you examples, ignorance and stupidity. Here is another one. When I married my wife I discriminated against a lot of other women and she discriminated against a lot of other men. I am very glad that she had very discriminating taste. Heck when I go shopping I am very discriminating, especially picking through the string beans. I doubt a day goes by that I am not constantly being intolerant of something or other and I am constantly discriminating (just deciding what to say, I had to discard gobs and gobs of options.)

It appears though that you would deny freedom except for those who believe as you do. If freedom comes from Christ then it would follow that only 'Christians' can be free. That is exactly the beliefs Moslems have and why the rest of us are dhimmi or infidels to them. They are people of the Book after all.
