I know, Sis. and you are correct, I was joking.
It seems that in many cases, tolerance is seen as compromise, that's why I made reference to it being a "liberal" trait.
Many people misinterpret their intolerance as holiness. I agree that on some issues there is no room for tolerance, but on others, there must be if we are to truly be pleasing to God.
I believe it was Augustine who said, "In essentials, let us have unity - in non-essentials, let us have liberty - but in ALL things, let us have charity"
