>They usually don't complain when they're mocked, unless it deals with their core issue like questioning the devinity of Christ. Thus, you heard some grumbling about "Da Vinci Code" (Spell?). But even that didn't bother many Christians all that much. They certainly don't slice off heads or send out death threats. In short, Christians are probably the most tolerant people.

Christians the most tolerant people?... c'mon Sam.
I would agree that many Christians are tolerant, but I suspect the same goes for any other religion and for athiests too.

But have a look at the 'leaders' of many Christian "flocks" who are often prominent in the news.
They cannot tolerate abortion.
They cannot tolerate any court challenge to removing "God" from public places.
They cannot tolerate homosexuals.
They cannot tolerate gay "marriage".
They promoted the return of the death penalty in the U.S. (true, though, no beheading).
They certainly do send out death threats (though in a different form than the Muslims).
They cannot tolerate women having any superiority over men.
They cannot tolerate sex in any form other than missionary in marriage.
They cannot tolerate books (like the Harry Potter series) because it mentions certain things.
They profess 'love thy neighbour' but if given the option to nuke a Muslim country they would do it in a flash (even Franklin Graham (Billy's son) suggested this after 9/11)
ETC., ETC., ETC.!
