This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lol.

The problem there was that they were defiling his house, disturbing people who were there to worship. Tolerance doesn't mean putting up with bad actors, it means not getting involved in things that don't concern you. Someone else choosing a different religion or lifestyle doesn't concern you, and the direction to love them still applies. Someone persecuting you does impact you, so righteous anger is justified.
