Good Morning! The link below is an article you may find of interest - I found it while thinking about some photos I saw awhile back on the Internet that disturbed me...friends [yes, actually] of mine posted photos of themselves dressed as Jesus [various "forms" of Jesus] in what was certainly meant to be a mockery of Him...it often seems to me that we are getting farther away from religious tolerance in the USA, not closer...in some ways I salute the spirit of the persons in the article linked below because they are using their freedom of speech to assert their views...I welcome that...but inflammatory things [like the photos I mentioned] seem pointed in the wrong direction...what to do about religious tolerance?

As to religious intolerance, I have no means to judge whether it's becoming more prevalent in our society. It's sad to hear of your friends' mocking Jesus, but Jesus is used to mockery. Of course, that doesn't justify it, but there you are. Actually, if they'd shot pictures of themselves just being themselves, they'd have created an accurate image of Jesus, for he identifies so closely with them even in their mockery that to see them is to see the face of Jesus.
