Wrong. The only thing that "shifts" is using the word intolerance in specific circumstances.


Why not just agree to disagree?
[/QUOTE]Because I see a growing trend. The UNs discussion, and the hollywood attitude to the bible, could result in the Torah, Bible and Qu'ran from being banned outright, because they are all intolerant of homosexuality. I see an ever increasing intolerance in society under the banner of "tolerance" that is actually frighteningly intolerant.

Very 1984 actually. The ministry of Peace waged war. The ministry of Truth, spread propoganda, the ministry of Love, tortured people. Western societies "ministry of tolerance" is frighteningly intolerant. Just because something is named something, does not mean it is that something.
