Being tolerant means showing tolerance for the intolerant too. I would have graciously accepted the gift myself, but if someone took offense and wanted to return the gift, that is their right as well. Quit trying to control folks LSDLDS, it not illegal to be an azzhole.

I don't think LSDLDS is trying to control people Rick, LSDLDS is just pointing out how hypocritical it is.

Becky, I don't want to debate with you, I was raised to be gracious when accepting gifts of any kind. Myself, If I felt the way they did, I would have sent them a Bible in return.

They're basically saying freedom of religion as long as it's our religion.

Ding ding ding, that is exactly it. Christians don't want freedom of religion, they want freedom to exercise THEIR religion. I grew up in Oklahoma and live in North Texas now, and it is like that here. Everybody just assumes you are a Christian, and it is just a matter of which denomination you are. It really freaks people out down here when they find out I am a free thinker/AA, whatever you want to call me. You kind of feel like you need to be careful about letting people know that about you. Makes you an outcast for thinking and being rational.

I'm not trying to control folks, Ricky. Why don't you show some tolerance for my opinion?
