religious tolerance
The capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others
Let me get this straight. You post an article which attempts to discredit the influence of Christianity in America's history and would propagate the idea that being free means more and more people naturally develop a distaste for Christianity -- and you do this in the name of religious tolerance?
"The practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others?"
That would let you fit right in, among our leftist universities and their leftist professors.
Merry Christmas. Do you like your pretzels soft or crispy?
That would let you fit right in, among our leftist universities and their leftist professors.
From reading this thread it shows that religious tolerance is only for those who are in lock step with the Traditon of Men and to that extreme are bo better than the far leftist!
They too only accept those who are in lock step with their brand!
Would you not say a true Christian strives to...
Col 3
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Gal 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
It seems many here have no interest why prominent Americans were disgusted with the creeds of Christendom, only that their traditional ox was gored, but is it the words and commandments that our Savior taught us to live by?
John 13:
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
