Let's use your own example of a prior post where you wrote:
"The kind of tolerance he was espousing was the kind that made Sodom a place where the judgment of God fell."
We see in that story itself where the people of Sodom were going to rape the visitors. I do think any civilized society has laws against rape and that is not in question. But, to see further the sins of Sodom, which of these will you put into law, or dictate to a neighbor how to obey it:
“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].” Eze 16:49-50
So, you are going to judge the amount of "pride" a neighbor has? What scale are you going to use on that? Or, how much do they eat? Maybe you and Mayor Bloomberg can be nannies together over other people's diets. How are you going to tell others to budget their time? How about their charitable giving, you'll dictate that as well?
You are missing the entire point of the OP! In the USA, we do not have "religious tolerance", we have RELIGIOUS LIBERTY! To tolerate presumes a superiority of your view over others. In the USA none is superior to others under our law.
This whole thread is based upon an anachronistic understanding of an outdated definition, anyway.
As to your view as to what Ezekiel was saying there, do you suppose that it was strange that Lot offered his two daughters in order that the men of the city not commit a wicked act?
Gen 19:1-11
Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw
them, he rose to meet them and bowed down
with his face to the ground. And he said, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night in the square.” Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.” But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, “
Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof.” But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door. But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. They struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied
themselves trying to find the doorway.
It seems to me the abomination Ezekiel was talking about was the fact that these men wanted to have sex with men (among other evil things). Lot, after all, offered his two daughters to be had by the men of Sodom in order that the men be prevented from doing this evil thing. If it was merely raping that was the wicked act that Lot was referring to, then why did he offer his two daughters to prevent the men of Sodom from doing evil?
