I would like anyone who believes that Liberals are intolerent of Christians to explain what we do that makes us intolerent. What do we need to stop doing to make you happy? I realize that most Americans are Believers. When polled, most say they believe in God and belong to some church. I accept that I, as an agnostic, am in the minority. This is not the question that this issue revolves around. This question is about what constitutes actual religious intolerence. I have never advocated banning any "mainstream" religion. Nor have I ever advocated preventing anyone worshiping in the church of their choice, according to the dictates of their faith.

Yet, when I do advocate for keeping prayer out of public schools, I am accused of being "intolerent". I don't say you can't pray. I say you can't lead the school or the crowd at the football game in prayer over a public address system. I believe that crosses the line. It imposes your believe system on those who do not share it. It does not matter, in my view, that the majority of your audience shares similar beliefs. It, effectively, puts me in a "pew", in your church, against my will. Why, when I claim my right to chose to not go to "church", do you have the right to bring that church to the football game my nephew is playing in? How am I being intolerent when I ask only that you express your religion in a religious setting, with a group of people who have chossen to join you in this setting because they share your basic belief system?

There are obviously other examples, but lets start here...
