[quote=RantingAtheist]Yep, the problem is cultural conservatives want to dictate how people live their lives. Rather than stick to matters of the soul, the largest of the organized religions have essentially turned into huge tax-free Super PACs and aligned themselves with a right-wing partisan agenda.

As the saying goes, "politics ain't bean-bag" (whatever that means). Sorry, you don't get to climb down into the muck of partisan politics, doing your damnedest to legislate your moral code on everyone, then the second you get pushback, put your lacy hankie to your lips and cry foul.

It's funny how the larger the religious institution gets, the more political power it craves, and the more it inserts itself into the process. If you're in Saudi Arabia, the Muslims want to write the laws according to Islam. And the Christians are meek and quiet--after all there's an injunction to "render unto Ceasar".

Turn the tables, and in the US, the conservative Christians want to implement their own version of sharia, and the Muslims just want to be left alone.

Either way, bullying behavior by the "over-dog" is inevitable.

But to the subject of the thread, there's no requirement to be tolerant of intolerance.[/quote]
