Much the same is true in the non-coercive sphere of the modern church. In most denominations, vocal Biblical teaching against apostasy, liberalism, Biblical criticism, radical feminism, euthanasia, aborticide, and homosexuality is simply not tolerated. These practices themselves, of course, are widely tolerated and encouraged. We Christian lovers of liberty do not defend this collaboration. It's not intolerance they oppose, you see, just intolerance of sin.
Intolerance is an inescapable concept.
