I truly believe that if so many who call themselves Christian were alive when Christ was alive, they would roundly condemn him as a social radical - a disheveled vagrant, a disturbance, a false prophet, a delusional man who claimed he is God or a messenger of God. To me this is hubris at its very worst. Its ugliness becomes manifest when one who openly disagrees with them worships in their midst. Finally, it would be false to say that only the Christian right can be characterized as above. Tolerance does not imply taking another's beliefs as your own.
Tolerance does connote respect, acceptance and love of another regardless of their beliefs.
However, most agree that when another's beliefs, actions and words cause physical or mental harm, they must be legally and ethically opposed. As is often the case, men use words as obfuscation- twisting meanings to placate their emotional longings and needs. Later, they confuse the words with reality, and from this springs wars and the many faces of human hatred.
