Tolerance sucks rocks. When Robertson spoke Biblical truth about homosexuals, and wondered how they could have such a preference, he did not suggest that they be killed, imprisoned or shunned. In other words, he TOLERATED them while not approving of their behavior.
The word, “tolerance” is defined as an acceptable degree of error.
Well, that last part is what gets you right there.
They seek affirmation for behavior that they viscerally know is wrong. God’s laws are in every human’s mind, and they are without excuse.
More than that, in the same interview, he said we should love everyone.
“We’re Bible-thumpers who just happened to end up on television,” he tells me. “You put in your article that the Robertson family really believes strongly that if the human race loved each other and they loved God, we would just be better off. We ought to just be repentant, turn to God, and let’s get on with it, and everything will turn around.”...
“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love ’em, give ’em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ’em out later, you see what I’m saying?”

I read posts until I came to yours, because you were the first to post the word “Biblical”.
Now I post the fact that those same listings of sin, and a long list of “THou Shalt NOTs” are also in the Torah. Every time, in synagogue, when I come to this list of DON’Ts, I wonder why there is seldom, if ever, a mention of those “Shall Nots” from my holy books.
What I see as my TORAH, the world at large sees at the OLD TESTAMENT.
It is interesting and educational for one to read the entire listing of “Thou Shalt Nots”.
