Oh for heaven's sakes, could we be a little more TOLERANT than that? 
GENOCIDE AND SLAVERY? So when do we start making the Nazi comparisons 
about people who disagree with us? 

Also, this "Kimball is intolerant b/c he believes his version of 
Christianity is right" is getting me down. He may or may not be 
intolerant. I'm not totally in sympathy with his version of 
Christianity. But it is not de facto intolerant to believe that you 
are right, as any proud L.O.L.L.I.P.O.P.S. member could explain.
