Then read this excerpt from:

In case you haven't heard, the faith-filled
Louisianan (Phil Robertson) wound up in hot water after being asked what was sinful by a GQ interviewer and offering the following
answer, as presented
by the magazine:
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers - they won't inherit the kingdom of God."
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers - they won't inherit the kingdom of God."
Can you
guess which of the above groups caused what subsequently befell Robertson:
suspension from his A&E show?
It wasn't
the greedy.
Or the
idolaters.
It wasn't
bestialists, though there's an effort
to legitimize their behavior now, too.
The
swindlers?
Nope --
not the slanderers, either.
Hint: One
of the organizations whose complaints got Robertson suspended was GLAAD, and
that doesn't stand for Guiding Light Advocates for Adulterers and Drunkards.
Of course,
we all know the answer. GLAAD characterized Robertson's comments as vile and
"extreme," and now he joins Dr. Laura Schlessinger and others whose
careers were hobbled by the Velvet Mafia.
America,
it is said, is suffering from intolerance - it is not. It is suffering from
tolerance. Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil,
Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it
is overrun with the broadminded…
This
tolerance trap is why Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen wrote
in 1931:
"…Tolerance
is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil, and a forbearance that
restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. ...Architects are as
intolerant about sand as foundations for skyscrapers as doctors are intolerant
about germs in their laboratories....
Tolerance
does not apply to truth or principles. About these things we must be
intolerant, and for this kind of intolerance, so much needed to rouse us from
sentimental gush, I make a plea. Intolerance of this kind is the foundation of
all stability."
