"Upperclassmen said they wanted to read the book, too. "I don't believe that intolerance of other religions is the guide that Christ set before us to follow," said Maggy Lampley, a junior, who was sitting behind a table encouraging students to join Campus Crusade for Christ. "He wanted us to show that he was the way and the truth, but not through ignorance and intolerance. I think reading books like this is a good way to make people more open-minded.""

Sorry to go valley girl, but gag me with a spoon. Ms. Lampley, I'm sure people of other religions don't want you PATRONIZING them in the name of tolerance.

"I'm right, you're wrong, but that doesn't mean I can't tolerate you and your religion."

Oh whoop-de-doo. You tolerate them! You don't respect them, or enocourage them, but the least that your little Christian mind can do is TOLERATE them. Well gee Miss Lampley, I can't tolerate you, I'm anti-stupidity.

As great as this may have sounded to some of you, "Oh good! Christians are finally being more open-minded!" I read a bit more into it. Notice where she says she's still right, other religions are still wrong. But that doesn't mean she can't treat them like a 3 year old and say "Yes other-religion, that's what things are really like" in the most sickening voice I can imagine.

More later, I have to go.
