"When you hear others "preaching" intolerance, or hurting another, it is not hypocritical to speak up. It is right!"
Um... apparently you really mean it is right unless it is a Christian who speaks up. When the one "preaching" intolerance is yourself or those who espouse that which you believe in, and the target of that intolerance is Christians, then it is ok, even commendable.

"FWIW, Does the NT reference gambling as sinful? Stock trading??.. :)"
Now that is a very good question and one that I have spent some time wrestling with - I enjoy the lottery, buying one chance per drawing when I am in a state that has one, and when I was younger I played a fair amount of serious poker. I find little direct teaching, but a number of inferences, such as a man should never gamble or do anything else that takes away from his family or his giving. That was enough to cause me to give up the poker, but not the $1 lotto tickets <gg>.
I see no problem at all with stock trading, and view it as no different from any other business pursuit.
