If you do not like what is found in the following link you are now being derided as "intolerant".

Will this lunacy end before the second coming? I doubt it. I think we are just seeing the real beginning of this behavior.

Tolerance is the state of tolerating, or putting up with something which one does not agree with.

To be tolerant means that while you may dislike or are uneasy, or believe something is wrong you do not ban, outlaw or otherwise cause it to disappear. You may seriously dislike it but you deal with it and are civil about it.

By the way, being intolerant isn't always bad. A society that tolerates everything is not a healthy society.



One of the biggest confusions in today's society is the confusing of "acceptance" with "tolerance".

We used to hear the phrase -- love the sinner but hate the sin.

Yet those who have confused tolerance with acceptance must accept both the sinner and the sin as being acceptable.


If we do not like lacy women's blouses on men, that is our right, and we should have freedom of speech to say so and give a reason for it.

However, that right is being eroded away, and intolerance is escalating in the name of getting rid of intolerance!!!
As now "tolerance" is defined as "accept" and anyone who does not accept things they know are not good, will be classified as trouble makers standing in the way of a more tolerant society and thus they are considered evil.


When one really stops to think it through --
This agenda of "tolerance" is really bringing in "intolerance.

Of course there is genuine bad intolerance in the world today as well, which needs to be addressed, but to take away people's right to "not like" something is overstepping the definition of tolerance.
