Jesus tells us not to tolerate, but to LOVE others. Likewise, we are not to try to force our beliefs upon others, we are to merely SHARE the good news (that we don't have to die - Jesus died for us) with those who have not heard and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. Unfortunately, in Christianity there is a tremendous disparity between theory and practice, perhaps more so than in any other religion. Fortunately, Christianity is not based upon Christians but upon Christ. Greg Boyd ...decvax!sytek!zehntel!greg
