After a sermon at a Lutheran church, I was looking over the tables with books and pamphlets they set up for the congregation to look over. Of course there were ID books, but what I found most amusing was, on one end of the table, there were pamphlets with a comic-style cartoon on it advocating the right to pray, learn ID and be openly Christian in schools. Basically it was a cartoon of some kids praying, being reprimanded and almost getting into a firstfight over it then standing up for their rights and calling for tolerance.

On the other end of the same table were three pamphlets: JUDAISM, ISLAM and MORMONISM. Those pamphlets contained a cliff-notes description of the religons in a suprisingly unbiased manner. The last paragraph of each pamphlet asked the reader to bring in a Jewish/Muslim/Mormon friend to see the church pastor. The MORMON pamphlet emphasized this a bit more than the others.

Nobody ever said tolerance was accecptance!
