Hypocrisy

Intolerant of Intolerant People

It's "politically correct" to be "tolerant," which means to respect everyone's opinions, no matter how bizarre they might be. If you should disagree, those preaching tolerance will immediately despise you for being intolerant, which makes them intolerant.  They are intolerant of intolerant people.  That's as hypocritical as someone saying, "Your impatience is driving me crazy!"


3 Kinds of Believers

There are 3 kinds of believers in church:
1. Believers
2. Unbelievers
3. Make-believers

"I am absolutely sure!" the professor answered.
