Jesus freaks are tolerant?

I'm with the late Jake Thackray on this. "I can't tolerate intolerance." Mind you, he was a committed left footer.

The thing is, rational people don't claim to "love thy neighbour" "turn the other cheek" or in the tradition of dodgy clergy, mishear "suffer the children."

Hypocrisy is part and parcel of belonging. These days, it just sticks out like a sore thumb far more than it did. Of course older people, being less street savvy and brought up to believe tend to believe so feel a crumb of comfort by seeing old men in frocks muttering platitudes. Good luck to them, placebo guarantees a minimum of 20% success rate.

But Dave The Gnome's point still stands.
