Is tolerance intolerant?

[tackattack]

OK so to both your points We all agree you can value the individual but not the claim. I'm familiar with the phrase Brian and agree with it as well.

Gae, I whole-heartedly disagree that we should strive for tolerance, but not in the case of the intolerant without a serious redefinition of the word. If tolerance is accepting ipso facto, then I don't think I agree with that at all. I'm not saying to tolerate the intolerant.

I saying we need to find value where it is and where it's not. Increasing value is a good goal for a society. Having a plurality of opinions and options can be good for a society when tempered with a value proposition.Is a secular society goal more valuable than a theistic society, idk. Is a slavery accepting society more valuable than a free society, I don't think so. That doesn't mean that there's no value in the view, just that it's generally less valuable to support slavery.

Would you agree finding basic value and trust to promote fundamental unity with understanding and compassion to achieve civic goals is a better step than ipso facto tolerance of all but the intolerant?


Added for catching up to posts: Actually Brian, Christianity doesn't ascribe to "I am good. I am moral" quite the opposite
