Typical Reuters title.

[chudogg]

Reuters...

[Cicero]

Less tolerant of what? Are leftists tolerant of Christians and their views?

And do leftists never try to push their beliefs on others?

[Texas Eagle]

Good. The Christophobes at Reuters still don't get it.

[dr huer]

They talk about gay rights, but its really about desired gay privileges.

In real life, getting rid of Reuters would be as easy as closing window(computeraly speaking).

Church-going Americans have grown increasingly intolerant in the past four years of politicians making compromises on such hot issues as abortion and gay rights

The sky is blue. News at 11:00.

There do not seem to be very many voices arguing for compromise today," she said in an interview. "It could be that more religious voices feel under siege, pinned against the wall by cultural developments. They may feel more emboldened as a result."

It could also be that the faithful are making more of a distinction between truly showing mercy when appropriate and being wusses. The wuss attitude wasn't working well.

It could also indicate "more polarized political thinking. There do not seem to be very many voices arguing for compromise today," she said in an interview.
Why is it that when the right disagrees it's called polarized thinking, but when the left dose it is dubbed progressive etc..

Survey Finds Church-Going Americans Less Tolerant Have Values.

[Texas_Jarhead]

the title alone constitutes an editorial IMO

[bray]

In a related poll, the Stone Age Press is 100% Intolerent of Christian Beliefs! How can a Press report on a people they know nothing about??

Pray for W and Our Troops

I guess Reuters isn't even attempting to hide its bias anymore.

[KidGlock]

Maybe one day we will be as tolerant as Michael Moore and Barbara Streisand.

[Biblebelter]

Tolerant=weak willed people pleasing

Christian=the eternal view trumps the temporal view

[steve86]

Less tolerant of evil? Very true!

[Tribune7]

So let me understand this -- if I express a belief and someone reacts by calling me bigot, facist etc., I'm the one being intolerant?

[escapefromboston]

Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions

[Emmett McCarthy]

Can somebody show me where in the Bible we are instructed to be "tolerant"? If it's there, I haven't found it. I hear plenty about it as some kind of "Secular Commandment", but it doesn't seem to be among God's.

[Sam Cree]

Didn't read the article, but if church goers are getting less tolerant of those things, it's clearly because the Left is (1) shoving those things down their throats, and (2) engaged in a very open attack on Christianity.

Beyond that, why not have a poll on the tolerance of the Left, which is pretty much non existant, by definition.
