To tolerate all things makes you a weak person that does not think for yourself! "Tolerance" means there is NO absolute right and wrong. Everything is relative. I again say, bullox!
There's a big difference between being tolerant of other people's structures, ideas, and beliefs and having a neutrally-aligned moral compass.
If someone had a bad limp and you wanted to walk beside them, I'm sure you'd tolerate the fact that they'll walk slower than you rather than shouting at them for not walking at normal speed.
And it's spelled, "Bollocks."
We can't search the middle eastern guy boarding the plane (even though he has a trench coat on in JULY!) because that would be intolerant and PI. (politically incorrect)
Yes, we can and we do actually. The only problem is when supposed terrorists on the watch list have the same name as some 4-year-old kid. The problem isn't it the illusion of Political Correctness but in the sheer stupidity of the illusion known as "safety."
We must not have the Pledge in our schools for it may offend the atheist when saying, "In God we Trust".
One man's complaint does not a massive problem make.
One a side note, have you ever actually asked yourself why we pledge to the flag and not to something a little more meaningful, like the Constitution?
Ya know, I'm starting to think we are to "tolerate" everything but Christianity.
Yes, of course.
I forgot about the oppression.
Of course you're being oppressed, other people have different beliefs than you and your pastors/preachers/texts tell you that they're not living their lives separate of you but rather are attacking your faith.
Except didn't Jesus say something about not trying to "help" others without paying attention to your own shortsightedness?
