If one group honestly believes something to be necessary to godly living, if not salvation itself, and another group totally rejects that position:
How can the more conservative NOT be thought of as intolerant or divisive?
Example - the esteemed theologian Miley Cyrus accusing Carrie Prejean of being intolerant of gays and a bad example for Christians.
How can the more conservative position maintain their standards and NOT be thought of as isolationist or aloof?
Without taking a stand either way, doesn't the strong conviction of a conservative make them seem intolerant per se to those of lesser conviction?
The liberal of course wants to walk together, their conscience is not the one being violated.

The issue of homosexual behavior is clearly discussed in the Bible.
The Bible is silent on the issue of the "bifurcated garment," however.
I respect your opinion and your previous posts. But it is very wrong to try and link these two issues. Most of those in America who oppose the homosexual agenda are frankly baffled by the skirt/pants issue that some of us make such a big deal over. And we depend on their support to try and keep the gay thing at bay.
And is Carrie Prejean really the best spokesman for "holiness" and "modesty" in dress and appearance?
