Tolerant or accepting — which are you when it comes to your fears?<\/p>\n
Acceptance or tolerance — to which form of coexistence do you aspire in relating to your phobias and hang-ups?<\/p>\n
What if it has to do with those things which you believe to be wrong? (Sinful<\/i>, you know.)<\/p>\n
This is what got me going on that…<\/p>\n
“Homophobia” is an interesting term. It is an entire lecture in a word.<\/p>\n
I wonder if the Riddle would employ the same litmus test to society\u2019s attitudes about Christians. It would be nice to feel a little support, admiration, appreciation, and nurturance. But failing that, I would settle for some tolerance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here, I propose a very simple test to “determine” whether or not you are consistent.<\/p>\n
Where do you draw the line?<\/p>\n
\n
- Is homosexuality on your side of that line?<\/li>\n
- Is homosexuality-is-sin on your side of the line?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
If your answers to those questions are not the same, are you inconsistent as well as intolerant and unaccepting? Maybe even some sort of phobe?<\/p>\n
Well, here you have two more disconnected sentences from the article I’m quoting:<\/p>\n
Some of you tolerant readers perhaps think you are not homophobic.<\/p>\n
“Acceptance” is merely the least despicable form of homophobia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I still marvel that my conviction about homosexuality is branded Hate<\/i> and Phobia<\/i> and so forth. I guess my conviction about abortion gets the same branding. I must be an abortophobic abortophobe<\/b>.<\/p>\n
That is so intellectually flawed and weak. \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n
Oh…have you read this book: Is the Bible Intolerant?<\/a>? If so, I’m interested in reading your review of it. (No, I haven’t read it.)<\/p>\n
Well, here you go, directly from Andr\u00e9e Seu Peterson via World<\/i> magazine — the source of my pinked quotes above: Test your level of homophobia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
