Why are liberals so intolerant towards people that's got faith in the Lord?

Question

On a side note, why do liberals think we "evolved" from monkeys when the Bible proves that we was created by Gawd?

Answer 1

Actually, as a Liberal, I'm against hypocrites who use the title Christian to go strictly against the Law given by Jesus in the Sermon On The Mount. Which includes most (certainly NOT all) who call themselves Conservatives today, especially the Pharisees on the TV who only worship Money.

Answer 2

There you go generalizin' again. They's got faith in the Lord too. Some may not be as observant of the belief as maybe you do, but they's got faith none the less.
And on that side note there, not only liberals believe in evolution but so do some Conservatives. We don't believe we comes from monkeys just certain politicians. Human beings are a species of their own but they were not like modern day human though. They evolved out of necessity and environmental changes. Monkeys and apes share a genetic DNA but their development regressed while ours advanced.
We wuz not created by GAWD but by our own. And the Bible ain't no proof. It's a book with words in it and some nice stories and a few good lessons to abide by, but it does not prove the existence of man.
Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

Answer 3

I hope I am not intolerant to other Christians but I sometimes wish they would accept that there are different valid ways of reading the bible.
I don't read the bible as a scientific text book. I read it because it points us towards the living Lord. At one time people thought the world was a three layer construct with Hell at the bottom, earth in the middle and heaven above. Now we don't. At one time people thought the earth was the centre of the universe and everything revolved around it. Now we don't. If someone who has studied genetics tells me that 90% plus of my genes are the same as another primate, I have no reason to doubt it.
The first eleven chapters of Genesis is the preface to the whole bible and the bible is a wonderful love story - the love that God has for the world and everything in it.
The creation story was probably written by God-inspired priests during the captivity in Babylon and borrows themes from their creation myth. That doesn't worry me. I read it as a glorious hymn about how everything, yes everything, in the world belongs to God.
The theory of evolution is just that - a theory and all scientific theories are provisional and subject to change. Please don't spend energy fighting for something that doesn't matter. Fight for God's world and make it just.
Jesus is the Word of God. Let us never forget that.

Answer 4

First of all, not all liberals are intolerant, even to "bible-thumpers" on the flipside though DEFINITLY not all conservatives are open minded either. You have good people on both sides of the line. There is also the point of evolution. Simply being conservative does not mean that someone does not understand the facts. It has been proven again and again that there is evolution. Just because there is a God does not mean that there is none.

I am christian but I strongly belive in evolution. I am also close to many athiests and other more extreme liberals and generalizations such as the one you made are just as offensive as liberals who call conservatives uneducated fanatics.

More to the point, most liberals problem with some conservatives lies in that fact that they fall back on the religion as an excuse for hate crimes, uneducated assumptions and selfish desision. Having faith in the lord, in my opinion at least, means knowing that your God is bigger than just a collection of stories that are put together to illustrate goods tiumph over evil (the bible).

I love my God but I also love humanity and I believe that God goes beyond our simple generalizations and cut and dry answers.

Answer 5

Well, personally I'm intolerant toward people that's got bad grammar and spellin'.

I'm not intolerant towards people who have faith, not at all. I'm very intolerant toward people who use their faith as an excuse to be ignorant. Good example - people who refuse to believe in evolutionary theory but they don't take the time to find out what it really says. Then they go around asking why people think we evolved from monkeys when evolutionary theory doesn't even suggest this.

Evolution does NOT say we evolved from monkeys! We're not even that closely related to monkeys! Why does it scare you to be related to God's other creations? If you would really study it, there's room for God in evolutionary theory. There are no contradictions, unless you really don't know what you're talking about.

Answer 6

Why do you make such generalizations about a group of millions of individuals?

My guess is that some liberals are simply returning the intolerance they get from Bible-thumpers for not having faith in their version of God.

As for your second question, they don't believe we evolved from monkeys. That's not what the evolution says. The evolution says that humans and monkeys had a common ancestor. There is a huge difference.

Answer 7

im not a liberal. and im not intolerant of your faith. im intolerant of having to go along with your beliefs because that is how this country is. since the majority of people in this country believe... im forced... to see your beliefs everyday.
and as far as the bible is concerned.... it proves nothing.. that you... can prove.
the fact that every other organism evolved on the planet through out its history...except us?...is not a law that nature follows.. it doesnt work that way. now i dont know if we evolved from monkeys....more than likely we didnt .....from monkeys.. anyways. but that is not to say that we didnt ..evolve. there is more proof in evolution that there is of creation in the bible.
i dont have a problem with your religion... have at it... but when your views influence the everyday workings in my life because there are so many religions.. thats when it worries me. thats when i get intolerant....because i know your mind is closed to simple... facts...and that means that you will continue the fight.. the intolerant fight against all the other...evil religions...and then... we have the world we live in today. as the religion you defend so strongly ...fights with others who believe... they are right and you are wrong. we cant all be right now can we?. only one religion can be right if there is a god... that means everyother relligion is wrong...and that i am wrong in saying there isnt a god.
someone is wrong here. and at that point... i have to say... we have put so many other religions behind us throughout our existance.....what makes the current religions...all of them...different than all the ones we put away?
i do not look to provoke.... i look to have you ask harder questions of yourself....and look for... harder answers

Answer 8

First of all the correct spelling is God. And second not all liberals are non believers or are intolerant. As a matter of fact I find conservatives to be more intolerant of people and ideas than liberals. Third not every liberal believes in evolution either.

Answer 9

because of the fact the "Lord" is a pretend concept and Liberals are smarter than that. yet fairly some liberals do have self assurance interior the Lord, yet you're too a good number of an fool to comprehend that.

Answer 10

We are not intolerant of your beliefs, we won't tolerate you foisting them on others - theres a difference get it?
We do not think we evolved from monkeys.
The Bible proves nothing. It simply makes statements and people interpret them in different ways.
Have a nice day!
