Ida Olivarez's commendation of the Caller-Times ("Banish bigotry," Aug. 10) is evidence of tolerance run amok. She smiles at two homosexuals getting "wed." She would no doubt consider her expression one of love for all mankind.

I would like to ask Olivarez if she has the same intolerance for the stripe down the center of the highway. That stripe isn't there because the highway department is full of "hatred, bigotry and judgement." It's there to keep people from getting hit head-on when straying from their side of the road. God has drawn a stripe down the highway of our sexual lives. If we didn't cross that line, there would be no STD's, abortions, or children with two mommies. There would be fewer psychiatrists, more empty hospital beds, lower rates of AIDS, higher productivity in business, lower insurance costs and fewer broken families. What part of that picture suggests God's hatred to you?
