Nick Kristof asks, with reference to the "Left Behind" series, "Should we really give intolerance a pass if it is rooted in religious faith?" I posted this primarily to piss Adam off, but Kristoff raises an interesting point. At what point does the invective spewed by hyper-evangelical Christians become unacceptable? I recognize that a certain double standard is inevitable, if undesirable, but once we start talking about hurling non-believers into fiery pits, haven't we closed the standard-gap enough that we've become objectionable?
