The USA being tolerant does not mean that the Christians are being tolerant - no.
The USA is tolerant because it is written into our US Constitution, and the US Supreme Court has consistently defined the 1st Amendment as being tolerant of every religion which is the real reason we have the religious tolerance here in the USA.
It is NOT the Christians giving the tolerance.
Right, but Christians act on and support the principle of the 1st Amendment that demands tolerance, while so many do not grant Christians and our beliefs the same dignity and respect.
Look how many in this country - much of the media, the left/liberals, and Islamists that give lip service to the 1st, while at the same time trash, denounce, ridicule,and attempt to legislate Christianity as an intolerant religion that essentially needs to be dismantled, while at the same time upholding and suporting those groups that cannot tolerate Christianity.
Just a bit of a double standard and hypocrisy here, ya think?
