In response to:
Dear Douglas.
Might I suggest that if the more strident elements of liberal agnosticism are gaining any foothold during this presidential election they were offered a crack in the door by substantial and sometimes virulent Christian Evangelical criticism of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? I have often observed anti-religionists have piggybacking their comments on a "Christian" opposing Mormons by stating that "all religions are illogical and ridiculous."
If Christians expect tolerance and understanding they will only gain it through practicing the same. I believe in the Golden Rule. Do you?
At what point in a nation where approximately 80% of the citizens identify themselves as "Christians" will Christian candidates defend themselves and their faith from the bigoted and deliberate smears of far-left journalists?
The latest attack comes courtesy of Time magazine. During an interview with Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, liberal editor Belinda Luscombe amazingly asks:
In New York City, which you're visiting for a couple of days, a lot of our taxi drivers are Sikhs. If you get one, are you going to give them a slightly bigger tip?"

Love the name. What does it mean?
Also there's a huge difference in calling out false prophets and killing those who you perceive as "infidels".
And yes, there is a huge difference between killing someone and calling them a name. But we are not talking about that. We are discussing how some folks find it a right and responsibility to judge others but do not approve of the same being done to them.
You are not addressing the issue or answering my question. You are equivocating
"If Christians expect tolerance and understanding they will only gain it through practicing the same. I believe in the Golden Rule. Do you? "
You might want to pose that question the people that's plotting to destroy Western Civlilization as we speak. It seems that it's they who are pushing for one way tolerance.
You certainly are good at making big statements but come up short on supporting them.
