Good question.
Guess "tolerant" people aren't so tolerant after all huh?

First of all, I am a HUGE believer..but NOT in any one religion... EXCEPT that I believe STRONGLY that any religion who believes there is a GOD/ALLAH is not all wrong.....
and>
Secondly, "tolerating" shouldn't be an issue of anyones---believer or NONbeliever. Tolerating borders on judgment...and NO one has the right to judge anyone's IMMORTAL SOUL....their BEHAVIOR....Yes, BUT not their immortal soul...and tolerance or INtolerance of 'sin'
(WHO DECIDES WHAT'S A SIN & WHAT'S NOT A SIN ANYWAY---you? I.D.T.S. (I don't think so!) ) ..
The tolerance or lack of it (saying what is and what isn't a sin) is a JUDGMENT CALL...and that, in itself (a judgment) should NOT be tolerated---so you are the one who shouldn't be tolerated...and if you're a "Christian"...then in your own Bible, it warns that you should not judge anyone...
Bye Bye

No, sin is an outdated concept. Sorry, but a list of do's and don't's from 2000 years ago just doesn't do much for me.
And I don't think everything should be tolerated. Where'd you get that idea?

So you think it's wrong for us to tolerate everything except intolerance.
Okey doke. If that's how you feel. See you when you make into the 21st century...

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
By non-believers i suppose you mean atheists like myself, or agnostics.
We are the most tolerant people around and don't recognise the concept of sin.

A BETTER QUESTION:
Why should I tolerate YOUR intolerance?

Because it's more about tit for tat than it is fundamentally about tolerance.
Tolerance is reserved only for those who also exhibit it. Intolerance is reserved for the intolerant.

If I can decipher this correctly, what sins are we tolerating exactly?
