Those Who Dare to Criticize ?Lace Shorts for Men? Are Being Slammed 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.

We see in the news a huge departure of tolerance for Biblical principles.

Tolerance is increasingly being redefined as a conformism which is intolerant of any who refuse to conform to the doctrine of relativism. Relativism doesn't believe in absolute truth. In relativism nothing is really right or wrong, it's all relative depending on a person's view of things, culture, upbringing, and personality. Thus saying, what is right and true for one person isn't necessarily right or true for the next is the principle applied to everything, and absolute truth is declared as non existent (mustn't be allowed to exist).

Have we wondered why the media seems to think it's all right to mock and ridicule Christianity, yet will legally defend anyone's "hurt feelings" when their "beliefs" are in any way mocked? What happened in Paris at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics is a prime example. There was open and blatant mockery of Christ and the Last supper. If that had been done with a well known picture of Muhammad the Islamic prophet, there would have been a far greater outcry and people would have been removed from office and disciplined. But to ridicule Christ is treated differently. Oh, yes there was an outcry, and the Olympic organizers did apologize, but they EXCUSED their action, and vindicated themselves as simply having achieved their goal of demonstrating tolerance and acceptance of all.

Now some might say, "but Christ did eat and socialize with sinners". Yes, He did, but He did it to save them from sin, He did NOT do it to celebrate sin. The very scene in which Christ was gathering with His disciples to commemorate His death, the very awesome truth which heaven provided to lift people OUT of sin and cleanse them and make them citizens of His righteous kingdom, was mimicked to celebrate sin as being acceptable, fun, and good.

Tolerance???
No. It was an outright attack on everything Christianity stands for.
It was relativism, it was saying there are many gods, it was honoring the pagan gods, and Christ as just one along with all the other pagan gods, there is no right or wrong, let's celebrate our relativism.

Does relativism prevent people from judging each other and therefore it gets rid of intolerance? Not at all, because the doctrine that everything is relative and nothing is absolute truth has proved to be very intolerant of truth.

True tolerance is actually a Christian idea.
Tolerance means there is something right and true, but people will tolerate, will not persecute, those who don't see it that way. Tolerance is at the root of religious freedom.
Relativism will always seek to exterminate truth.
