Nothing at all mate.
But it’s got everything do with you being totally oblivious to the fact, that you continue to come on here again and again making yourself look stupid by metaphorically ‘throwing stones in glass houses’. 
Everyone else can see it except you !
The Bible is not intended to be taken literally! I was told that by a retired Minister, not a particularly pleasant individual, but there you go. Perhaps the World irrespective of how old it is would be a better place if we could all be kind and tolerant of each other. When I drive I try to be economical with the fuel ,not to save the kittens and puppies but for my own satisfaction.
What one generation tolerates,the next generation embraces. So the saying goes.
Tolerance isn’t necesserily a good thing.It means overlooking something that you know deep down is not good.

The current generation is embracing pronouns, being able to choose what gender you are and allowing men into women areas just by putting a dress on and saying they’re female.
“Embracing” isn’t all its cracked up to be either.
What I don’t understand about all this pronoun crap is when someone says they want to be addressed as they/them. Surely that is plural.

There are only 3 third person singular pronouns.
He, she, and it.
They claim to be neither male nor female, so the obvious and only grammatical alternative is ‘it’.
They more than likely feel being referred to as ‘it’ as derogatory and disrespectful…
So they choose to go against the laws of English grammar, by referring to themselves as ‘they’ and ‘them’…which as you say is grammatically incorrect.

We’ve been here before mate,.with your bigoted and narrow minded views on homosexuality , not to mention your tendency towards negatively judging those who do not share your ridiculous beliefs.
Tolerance is more of a good thing than a bad thing in many cases…especially that one.
Furthermore tolerance is supposed to be one of your ‘Christian values’ as far as I remember.
For some reason every ■■■■ thread you are involved in is steered towards all this religion and Chritianity crap…(admittedly I always seem to bite, 
mainly because I find it offensive and irritating. )
Are you on some kind of missionary crusade or what?
Because it has got well past the stage of being tiresome.
With big companies fuel economy is about saving money not saving the planet.

I don’t know anywhere in the Bible where Christians are told to be “tolerant”.The word certainly isn’t in my vocabulary.The thing is,if something is good,why the need to use the word?
If someone in my family told me they want to do something good ,like ,I dont know,helping the poor or something,I wouldnt have to say,I’m tolerant of it.It’s only when things are happening that are not good that you have a choice.You call the person out and maybe pay a price for that OR you take the easy,selfish cowardly way and you tolerate it.
You are right.We have a mission.
Matthew 28:16-20
New International Version
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

We’ve been here before with this.
Love thy neighbour as thyself covers tolerance in a nutshell as far as I see it…gay people are your neighbours.
You are a Christian nut job I am an atheist, so why on the face of it do I appear to have more basic what you would call ‘Christian values’, than you?
You are a hypocrite and a joke,.and tbh you are really starting to annoy me now.
To the Church in Thyatira
18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into ■■■■■■ immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, 25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
Robroy.
This is the best example of tolerance I could find in the Bible.In the book of revelations the church in Thyatira had a woman,Jezebel who was encouraging ■■■■■■ immorality and fornication.Jesus called them out because they tolerated her.If you were there,would you be one of the ones saying,oh well,live and let live,?but look what happened when these people took that line.
She was a ■■■■■ as well,she was having ■■■■■■ relationships with lots of different men and encouraging others to do the same,but Jesus was not pleased that her behaviour was tolerated
Mate…how many more times?
I could not give a flying ■■■■ what you find in the Bible, it is totally irrelevant to me.
My stance is live and let live,.each to their own.
As long as it has no adverse bearing on me or my family, let them get on with it…none of my business, and certainly not my place to judge or pontificate.
Yes,OK,fair enough
