Is not tolerating the intolerant intolerant

[Justtristo]

First of all happy new year everyone, all the best.

I have a question for you and that is: Is not tolerating the intolerant intolerant when it comes to beliefs?

I supose the hadith following islam says to kill an apostate, judeism tels you to kill even your own children if they secretly entice you to go follow another God, Jesus alegedly in the New Testament says that he came to conform old laws(the Old Testament).

So clearly they are intolerant of others.

I am begining to think that the law should be that you can practise WITHIN A REASON or LIMITED FREEDOM OF FAITH wich is in reality the way the things are. That way you would openly make it known to the person that its not OK according to us to do some of those things his/her books tell them to.

What does everyone else think? Would that be rough?

Thanks

Politically I am a Liberal Democrat and support the freedom of people to believe in whatever they believe. Indeed I support their rights preach their beliefs and in private even raise (indoctrinate with a nice name) their children in private*.

However the line needs to be drawn when such religions preach overthrowing our Liberal Democratic system and replacing it with a theocracy. Then society cannot afford to be accepting or even tolerant.

* I support Daniel Dennett's proposal for kids in both public and private schools to be taught comparative religious studies from an early age. If you want to know about more Dennett's proposal visit this page http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfai..._well.html
