From my own observation and experience in this part of 
the "Bible belt" Christian intolerance of others is not 
dead. It lives across the street from me in a preacher 
with an 8' x 8 ' sign that says "We welcome: Christians, 
Pro-life, Pro-family, Pro-military, Most Republicans, (the 
list goes on).  The kindest, gentlest folks I know leading 
lives in Christ's example have rejected organized religion 
and the premise that a human (priest, pastor, preacher, 
etc.) is necessary to interpret and intercede for them, 
and have chosen to connect directly with their God. This 
is the only 'growing up' I've seen.
