Tolerance works both ways. If you don't want to be labelled a kook, don't insult Catholics by telling them they aren't Christians. The Bananaman Ray Comfort has done this. It really isn't a difficult concept at all.See we cant insult anyone...but conservative and traditional Protestants...and this is called "tolerance" lol
Ok..lets see it work both ways? You and others cry "tolerance".. "tolerance"..we must have tolerance! So you guys should be the ones that are showing others what that looks like.....Tolerance works both ways.

Is it wrong to tell people not to hate?Ok..lets see it work both ways? You and others cry "tolerance".. "tolerance"..we must have tolerance! So you guys should be the ones that are showing others what that looks like.....
So does kirk not deserve our tolerance? Does he not need and deserve our love also?Is it wrong to tell people not to hate?
Gee, I learned that one in kindergarten.
Tolerance! What a terrible thing!
Sure, as long a she's not hurting others. Unfortunately he hasn't been able to do that.So does kirk not deserve our tolerance? Does he not need and deserve our love also?
Oh so we have "tolerance" as long as the person or group does not have a history of "hurting" others? Well I dont think that there will be much "tolerance" under that standard...do you?Sure, as long a she's not hurting others. Unfortunately he hasn't been able to do that.

Do you not think it's possible to be a Christian without hurting, oppressing, judging, annoying people? Why is this something desirable to you?Oh so we have "tolerance" as long as the person or group does not have a history of "hurting" others?

I don't think Kirk Cameron is AS destructive to the Christian faith as someone like the Westboro Baptists, but his actions I'm sure have turned far more people away from Christianity than attracted them. Same for Ray Comfort, who thinks nothing of slurring entire groups of Christians depending on their denomination. They are laughingstocks, worldwide.It can be a slippery slope, but I wouldn't mind barring the Westburo Baptists from preaching their false Gospels, and some other pseudo-Christian groups who distort the faith.

One word:I haven't heard Kirk say too many things that would turn people away from Christianity
Well you do understand that under this standard all most every group has harmed others...and none would qualify for tolerance. As far as trying to restrict the speech of others, this is a slippery slope at best...and is contrary to the ideals that we uphold here in America. The Nazis have been proven to be killers...I don't think a charge like that can be made against WBC even as vile as they are...they have free-speech.In Germany they have banned pretty much all references to Nazism. What is called "militant democracy". I think it is a perfectly valid approach, considering how many neo-nazis are in Germany and how destructive fascism was.

Well are you aware that almost every major denomination has brought some harm to others, in one way or another? I disagree with all evil and would judge the evil in myself first, but many can be very selective about things? We all can look past the errors in our own groups and those who agree with us, while trying to condemn and find fault in others. This idea of tolerance, seems to be promoted by those who have little tolerance for those who hold the views of folks like Kirk.I haven't heard Kirk say too many things that would turn people away from Christianity, but I'm sure others get the crazy vibe as well. I don't really listen to the man and I don't want to. I find it best to stay away from Christian celebrities if I can. They're all pretty crazy.
As for tolerance, I think it's worth correcting our brothers in Christ if they are actively hurting others. It would be immoral not to.
I just can't bring myself to look that up. I'd rather stay ignorant to it, I think.One word:
Crocoduck.

Possibly the most unforgivable thing about Kirk Cameron's take on Christianity is how he misrepresents it and its members. He leads people to believe that all the born agains are the only true Christians. He's recklessly irresponsible in how he portrays evolution (which is to say, he clearly has no understanding of it whatsoever, hence the "crockduck" thing, which made him notorious in Christian circles, much to the chagrin of Christians who actually know what they're talking about) - he goes on the offensive way too often, smearing those who disagree with him rather than presenting Christianity as an up and positive thing. He's anti-gay, anti-Catholic, and anti-science. He's a disgrace.
Since he has a different belief than you, shouldn't you just "agree to disagree" with him instead of calling him a disgrace?Possibly the most unforgivable thing about Kirk Cameron's take on Christianity is how he misrepresents it and its members.
