The error in this argument is obvious. ''Telling someone about a warning in the Bible is doing them a favor, not expressing hatred toward them. In fact, it may, be a small step on the road to their salvation.'' When a teacher instructs a pupil not to steal from others, not to assault them or tease them, these instructions are for the child's benefit. Similarly, informing homosexuals of the sin they are committing is one sides freedom of speech - a homosexual reacting by insulting ones religious beliefs is his/her side's freedom of speech, but is also telling of their intolerance by resorting to insults.

Many liberals claim that intolerance is only a conservative thing. Intolerance is not limited to a side. Anyone can be intolerant. Saying otherwise is like calling black-on-white violence "reverse-racism". Racism is the same thing, regardless of who the target is.
