It's a word I don't really like. I mean, there are 7 billion individuals, so what is there to tolerate? Whether you accept or reject that fact, it still happens.
But with that in mind, surely even the most tolerant of us would actually tolerate the intolerant. Indeed, it is discrimination to counter-discriminate.
So I do often wonder about atheism, and the terminology with regards to how we discuss this...
It's a personal experience at the end of the day, this existence. How are you seriously gonna tell another person what personal experience is right or wrong?
