I read your post, I said "you christians" in reference to ALL christians.



Why should I tolerate intolerance?



You'd think so. But have you ever actually read these holy texts?

There are a lot of things in this world that deserve our hate. I hate Islam because its holy book says that I deserve to be killed, for instance. I hate fascism because it's a deranged ideology based upon control and power. I hate socialism for the same reason. I hate Christianity for many of the same reasons I hate Islam.

The point is not that HATE is bad or that ACCEPTANCE is good, but whether we're doing so based upon RATIONAL REASONS.

OPEN-MINDEDNESS is only a virtue if it's tempered with wisdom. Otherwise you'll fall for anything. Ask yourself: why aren't you "open-minded" about Nazism? Or Scientology? Because it's bull****, just like Islam is bull****.

Islam is not a friend of most people. (Neither is any other religion.)
Then you should hate extremist values, not all values. You can't shove everything into one category.
