We have a warped idea of Tolerance today. At one point, tolerance meant that you RESPECTED what others believed, but you could still believe that they were wrong. Now, Tolerance has been warped to mean that we have to accept other view points as equally valid as our own.
I reject this tolerance out of hand.
Sadly, many "christians" today do not.
The belief in Absolute Truth is a basis of faith. If anyone claims to be a Christian, they agree (or should) that Jesus is the way, the truth and the light and that NONE come to the Father, except through Him.
To accept that other beliefs are valid as well, and that truth is relative, is to negate your own faith.
I say be respectful, be kind, be loving, but do NOT be this NEW form of "tolerant"
