They all do that! That's the whole message: be a Christian or go to hell. There's the whole "witness" thing, the Bible is the direct Word of God thing, etc. The tolerance is only due to religion being decoupled from government and therefore unenforceable. Take Gay Marriage for example. Who are the most vocal opponents? Those that use a religious basis for their argument. And what are they trying to do? Build their religious belief into law to FORCE the country to live by their religious beliefs. Do you know any fully conforming Catholics that don't favor baking their religion into law such as with Gay Marriage? Of course you don't, because they don't exist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:214827 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
