The right to life movement is all about "intolerance" and a majority component in the movement is "Christian Morality".

Yes, but many of us have come to our pro-life convictions based not on religious teaching, but on rational examination. Nobody is suggesting that Nellie Gray should have adopted the beliefs or lifestyle of the members of PLAGAL, only that she should have allowed them to protest alongside other pro-lifers in unity.

The Christian community may consider secular society neutral on some levels but they find the homosexual portion of that society to be intolerable and an affront to their core values. They’re many in the secular community that may be rejected as well if they identified themselves. Its just that Christians find non-believers more tolerable than they do perverts.

That's what you think, but your rational viewpoint has been prejudiced by being raised in a culture with a primarily Christian morality. If you had been raised in Sparta, you would not think that a prolife stand was rational at all.

Most people who believe in atheistic morality simply have no idea how much their culture has influenced their thought patterns.

Shalom.

I couldn't agree more.
