Depends on the particular sect. The bible can be interpreted either way obviously, though the Jesus parts seem to be leaning towards tolerance heavily. However you can see how many intolerant Christians there are, so, like with most religion, you can justify basically any of your beliefs based on it.
Note that I would suggest an Authorized King James Version of the Bible be used in place of the ESV quoted for scripture in the above article, but have little if any disagreement with what the author has written or presented regarding this topic outside of that.
Tolerance or intolerance isn't a byproduct of religion, it's mankind.

Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Religion, yes. God Himself? Nope. Man is a byproduct of God. Not the other way around.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
oh right we're presupposing that god is real...i'm sorry.
what i meant to say was: "so is religion (except of course for your One True Religion)"

i get it now! god's existence is proof that creation is a miracle! and to further your point, wouldn't that in turn prove that god exists? i've been so blind!

Always my problem sadly, I just can't help veering into the ludicrous and ridiculous. I get carried away, and it stops being zany and ends up disturbing and surreal. Anyhooo have a good evening.
OF course it isn't enough for them because they're stubborn. They'd rather believe everything came into being out of absolutely NOTHING and for no reason other than being an accident. LMAO. And they claim they're the "logical" ones.
