Stance Against Tolerance

I saw this today and it makes the baby jesus cry.

Christian College Praised for Holding Fast to Its Biblical Worldview
A Bible college professor and home-schooling dad is praising a Christian college in Virginia for firing a low-level employee because he does not believe salvation is found only through faith in Jesus Christ.

This quote here sums up the arrogance and danger of fundamentalist Christianity:
"In the midst of the culture in which we live -- where relativism and tolerance are considered the ultimate virtues -- Patrick Henry [College] has taken a stance in direct opposition to that kind of thinking," Baucham says.

This brought to mind a conversation I had with my friend Dave (who is getting his Ph D in Divinity so he know a bit about this stuff) this weekend. One of the common "proofs" brought up when people defend Ignorant Design. Is that Evolution is only a theory, thus it is must be called into question. The problem is that argument is that real science does not use absolutes, everyone can and always should be questioned. The religious right doesn't understand this and works in the unquestioning world of absolutes. When you are allowed to question you are allowed to expand and explore, but when you deal only in absolutes you run the risk of being absolutely wrong.

Anyway too annoyed to write about this anymore, and I'm heading out to the Hieroglyphics concert tonight!
