I get so bloody tired of this; my religion, faith and creed, is the only true religion, faith and creed and is is better than your evil stupid religion, faith and creed, I could scream. [”Self-righteousness is a loud din raised to drown the voice of guilt within us.”] Eric Hoffer

As further explanation of my last comment: So you don't like the apparent exclusiveness & intolerance you perceive, eh? Based upon some apparent self-claim to a higher moral ground or "self-righteousness," eh?

Well, aren't you also intolerant of these postures?

Don't you claim to be exclusively condemning this?

Haven't you carved out for yourself some higher moral ground or ground of "self-righteousness" that claims condemnation upon these groups?

Why is your stand automatically accorded a position that will trump or upstage theirs?

Is your individual religion, faith and creed -- even if it's only SeaParrotism -- so "sacred" that only YOU have a license to self-righteously condemn others?

Who gave you such a license? Or are YOU the highest religious authority you know and it was self-issued?

Are you a "god" (small 'g')?

You have to understand that the only intolerance that is tolerated is intolerance to Christians because they are intolerant.

“The uncompromising attitude is more indicative of an inner uncertainty than of deep conviction. The implacable stand is directed more against the doubt within than the assailant without.” Eric Hoffer

Bombastic rhetoric is no substitute for a reasoned rebuttal.
