No, what I'm saying is that the modern liberal's call for tolerance is hypocritical, because as soon as you say something they don't like, they demand that you sit down, shut up, and keep your opinions to yourself. Liberals are no longer ardent defenders of free speech like they were in the good ol' days.

As to trying to stop adultery, premarital sex, or homosexuality - good luck with that.

It strikes me that you are quite keen on "freedom" except when it comes to actions or behaviours of which you do not approve."It ain't necessarily so

I'll also note that while "Because the Bible says so" would not be a sufficient reason for me to support enacting a law, it would be enough reason for me to not support attempts to remove a law already in place.
Concerning adultery, homosexuality, and pre-marital sex could that not be considered to be an attempt by government to interfere in the freedoms of legally of age and mutually consenting individuals?

I will note that back in my dating days, I would not have "liked" laws prohibiting premarital sex, but as a Christian, would not have believed such laws inappropriate.
