Of course not, and we dutifully fall in line behind those "holier than thou" who would foist their particular brand of hatred, segregation, non-acceptance, and intolerance, onto the world. How about this? How about we not drink the fruit punch like those poor souls of Jonestown? How about we think for ourselves, consider the love of Christ, and do better by our fellow beings? Just saying.
