This "please be tolerant of the bigotry" ruse gets really old, really fast.

[Warren Stupidity]

1. The "please be tolerant of bigotry" ruse has been advocated right here in this group.

[2ndAmForComputers]

2. Correct.

[edhopper]

3. We can all be tolerant of others beliefs

as long as no one acts on their religious beliefs.

And we all know religious people rarely act on their beliefs, so it's all good.

[skepticscott]

4. Yes, and fortunately too

they rarely express their beliefs publicly or try to sway anyone else to their bigoted way of thinking, so it's all good.

[edhopper]

6. Good thing no laws are passed

because of religion and that no religious group gets involving in passing them.

Why I was told on this very forum that religion has nothing to do with terrorism what so ever.

[skepticscott]

7. Oh, religion is just an excuse

all those people would be torturing and murdering each other anyway, because all humans have unlimited reasons to hate and kill. Take away one, and they'd have an endless store still remaining.

[Iggo]

10. No True Scotsman would ever engage in terrorism.

So we're safe.


From True Scotsmen, anyway.

[skepticscott]

5. Yes, by people too high and mighty

to recognize the simple truth that everyone is intolerant of some things. A person who is "tolerant" of everything, and is content to simply sit silent and unmoving while other people say and do horrible things in the name of their religion, is no person I would ever respect. The measure of a decent human being is what things they are willing to tolerate and what they are not.

[skepticscott]

8. Yes, the one that insisted

that the gay couple should have "tolerated" the baker's religious views was very reminiscent of some of the high priests of "tolerance" on this board.

[Iggo]

9. Yeah, NOW they want tolerance.

It's a two-way street, fuckos.

[rug]

11. Well now, their bigoted act does not seem to have been tolerated, has it?

Tolerance of the intolerant is not tolerance, it is apathy.
