My personal position
I will not tolerate fascism the idea one person is inherently superior to another is anathema to me. A lot of people will except this because I am talking about a political philosophy. However I am just as intolerant of a pastor who wants to beat the devil out of a child because he says the child is possessed, but it seems this is more controversial because the pastor is part of a religion and we are supposed to tolerate that. But to me there is no difference these ways of thinking are both sick and I personally will not tolerate either.
I think I heard in britain there are about 20 cases of child torture a year that are direct a consequence of churches that believe in child possession. The ideas coming from these churches I will not tolerate even if it is religious.
