Yes, but it wouldn't be intolerant to be hostile to Christians pushing their beliefs on your community.
* Would it be intolerant to be hostile towards members of modern culture for their beliefs?
No, because they believe that they have an obligation to impose their views on everyone, so this is a practical threat.
* Would it be intolerant to be hostile towards a fellow Arkian for getting a tattoo, partying, voting democrat, writing complicated code, etc.? Same question but for Old Testament follower (e.g. he believes God is powerful, and he equates energy with power, and he thinks Godly code is code written with lots of effort/energy, in other words Godly code is complicated code)?
The general rule is to only be intolerant to things that harm you, not intolerant to "untrue" beliefs. If people to evil far from you and don't impose their belief on others, then there is no reason to be hostile. In the case of code and the internet, everyone is effectively close, not far, so that makes intolerance more justified.
I see nothing in common. Deconstruction seems to say that everything is subjective, not relative. See
