Norman L. Geisler Quote
Liberal secularists insist that tolerance is the highest virtue. But they don’t tell you what they mean by tolerance. To them, tolerance doesn’t simply involve treating those with different ideas respectfully and civilly. It means affirming their ideas as valid, which Christians can’t do without renouncing their own beliefs. If, for example, you subscribe to the biblical prohibition on homosexual behavior as sinful, you cannot at the same time affirm that such behavior is not sinful.
