Yes, let's do set that aside, since (as I think I've mentioned before) 
you're assigning that "alleged tolerance" to me as a straw man.  None of my 
alleged friends would say that I was allegedly tolerant.  I have judged you, 
and found you wanting, and I'm sure you've returned the favor.  There are 
all kinds of Christian lifestyles that I admire as an outsider--the Credenda 
Agenda model just happens not to be one of them.  You needn't worry, though; 
I have no intention of coming to a Sunday service, gathering up the women, 
and shouting, "Let my people go."  I won't even come and take snide notes.  
What I will do is fight any attempt to turn your belief into my law.

Well, I see it this way.  Greg announced that sexual dysfunction and 
dishonesty reigned among the male apostates who oppose the public nudity 
ordinance.  But sexual dysfunction is not unknown, it seems, among those at 
Christ Church who have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in their hearts.  Some 
men apparently have to blackmail their wives into feigning bliss in the 
marital bed with threats of eternal hellfire.  Looks to me like a recipe for 
faking it, and that's sexual dysfunction spawning dishonesty.  Is this what 
you mean by a traditional Christian relationship?  Women who approach sex 
like Daniel approached lions?  Doesn't sound like much fun to me.

My point is simple: people who live in glass houses (or sleep in chilly 
beds) shouldn't throw stones.

PS: There are six million Muslims in the United States, most of whom could 
do as much justice to the Declaration of Independence as any Christian, Jew, 
or Zoroastrian.  Even Louis Farrakhan has never declared with a straight 
face that the Constitution does not provide for the separation of church and 
state.
