    Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Eugene Ipavec
   (...) Goodness, no. I meant nothing of the sort. Whether the LDS is Christian is as much for me to say as whether the Shi'ites are Moslem. Which is to say not at all. What I was referring to by the generic "Christians" was the sort of Protestant, (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Bill Farkas
     (...) I think that's the underlying problem with labels, and yet they are a necessary evil.

        Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Jeremy H. Sproat
   (...) Ouch, Larry. >:-P (...) I know it was a joke, but bear with me for a moment... Would Libertarians be tolerant of my lifestyle if I were to become a tyrranical conquorer bent upon stamping out Libertarianism and setting up camp on your private (...)

        Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Larry Pieniazek
    (...) Excellent question. Flip answer is that we tolerate anything except intolerance, acted upon in a way that suppresses rights. As you point out 3 sentences on. (...) Rather narrowly from my observation. (24 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Larry Pieniazek
    (...) No. Only intolerance acted upon in a way that suppresses rights. We even tolerate someone discrminiating who he will sell scissors to because he only likes right handed people and can't tolerate lefties, as long as there are no governmental (...)

        Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Todd Lehman
     (...) I forgot the winky smilie! If that had actually been what you were saying, it would make a nice paradox. :) One of my favorite bumber stickers is, "Down with Intolerance!" :) (...) How about a governmental ban on the sale of left-handed guns (...) (24 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Karim Nassar
     (...) Since we are in .off-topic anyway... Speaking of bumper stickers, I saw a great one today... It's a bright red sticker that reads "If this sticker is blue, you are driving too fast!" ObReligion: If you got that joke, thank a science teacher; (...) (24 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Intolerance and property rights —Frank Filz
    Larry Pieniazek wrote in message <38C99133.A47A4F64@v...er.net>... (...) I'm a bit curious as to how patents fit into this scheme. One the one hand, it is clearly good to protect the investment that went into an invention (both "dollars" and the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Intolerance and property rights —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) This came up before and I don't have a satisfactory answer. I think one is out there, I just haven't taken the time to catalog all the stakeholders and determine their rights.
