Again, I hope you were able to discern the problem with the statement "I cannot stand people who are intolerant," showing that the person making the statement is also intolerant.
We live in a world that wants to value this thing called tolerance, however, if you listen discerningly at those who think themselves to be tolerant you can see how their own words and actions deceive themselves.
As a Christian, beginning with my Christian worldview, I believe that there are absolutes. I believe that certain behaviors and actions that are absolutely wrong and should not be tolerated. These behaviors and actions we call "sin." I also believe that these sins are not and will not be tolerated by God who is the one who gives us the absolutes we have as well as instruction into what is sin and what is not sin.
Now, for those who claim to be tolerant, first, what is the basis for their tolerance? In other words, what is the foundation, what is their worldview that tells them what is to be tolerated, what is right and wrong? Second, if they do espouse to be tolerant, truly tolerant, then they should tolerate and rejoice in my intolerance, otherwise, they have fallen into my worldview of believing that there are certain behaviors and actions of which we are to be intolerant. In other words, they are lying about their tolerance.
See how when we listen and are discerning we can see all the holes in the arguments of those who seek to impose their worldview and beliefs on us.
New challenge, discern what is wrong with the following statement:
Teaching abstinence does not work.
