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 property? I'm not just talking about L's respecting my right
to desire to do so. I'm actually (okay, for debate purposes only) investing
in the possibility that I could be the next great invasion. How tolerant of
me would you be if I were to forcefully seize your property and sell your
family into slavery?
I think it can be argued that any given philosophy or religion or whatever is
intolerant of *something*. For those living in L-topia the intolerance occurs
when rights are taken away. But where exactly the line is drawn for
Christianity is unclear to me...
