Yeah, you're right. But my main point is that I don't see believing your religion is the only right one as intolerant. The folks over at Jewish World Review think I'm dead wrong about my Christianity; they are entitled to that opinion. They support my right to believe what I believe and I support theirs. I love those people and we have so much in common politically. I've even donated money to their website. At the same time I believe religiously pretty much exactly what LaHaye believes. Still, I'd do anything and everything I could to help support and defend JWR, and Israel for that matter. The guy that runs JWR (I never can spell his name right) has been awesome in defending Christians.
The conflict is much more about conservative vs. liberal than it is about Jew vs. Christian.

I use the word "intolerant" for brevity. The issues on this thread require many qualifers and much context, and I just don't want to write thousands of words per post, :-)

You can believe you're right about something, while respecting others' rights to believe what they want and to disagree with you. Actually, the people who use the word 'intolerant' the most are usually the most intolerant.
