(with apologies to St. Luke)

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a “Liberal” and the other a “Conservative”. 11 The Liberal stood and prayed thus with himself, `God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, pro-lifers, home-schoolers, anti-immigration bigots or like this anti-gay marriage guy here, who is probably a racist, too. 12 I promote the inclusion of all, save him, of course, for he is intolerant. 13 But the ‘intolerant’ conservative, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, `God, be merciful to me a sinner, guilty of politically incorrect thoughts!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who does not tolerate the intolerant is himself intolerant.”
