there are some things that God just doesn't expect people to compromise on How do you know this (as opposed to believe it)? See you keep making opinion statements, but elevating them to the status of facts. I think the things you believe you can't be factually ascribed to God. No evidence. Bible doesn't count because it is self-referential and not independently verifiable. Since your belief is independent of the facts (that's okay, but let's admit it), there is no fact that I could show you that would change your belief and therefore you don't respond to facts. See, everyone who believes has this problem. They all believe stuff that can't be proved but some cross the line and want to force it on other people. That's where cowardice involved. Rather than saying it is their "opinion", they ascribe it to God (apparently to increase its righteousness). That is disingenuous and deceitful but saying "You must believe it because I believe it" doesn't have the quite the same ring.

And you know this? Did you get it direct from God that he would like you to be an intolerant a$$hole? Because in the Bible Jesus has quite a bit to say about meekness, and gentleness and turning the other cheek. Perhaps you need to do a little more self educating in your religion.

<<As to me being intolerant let me say this, there are some things that God just doesn't expect people to compromise on. >> That has got to be one of the funniest posts I've ever seen on SI. You seem to be laboring under a misapprehension. I hate to be the one to break it to you, dude, but you (better sit down) aren't God. Of course, nobody is, but that's a whole different topic, and one subject to debate, unlike the one that you are God or his Spokesmodel. Here's something else funny, though off-topic. Let it load fully and turn up your speakers. tvdance.com
