I'm not sure what is inconsistent or why this comment is anonymous or who or what is being quoted. I think tolerance in the biblical sense is grace, which allows us... in this situation to disagree vocally and still know God's grace is sufficient for all of us... but maybe I really didn't understand this comment. Oh well. I'll honk for you too (whoever you are) if ya need it.brian c. berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221115935758929750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12999951.post-1123641368016978372005-08-09T19:36:00.000-07:002005-08-09T19:36:00.000-07:00It's not that you are not practicing what you prea...It's not that you are not practicing what you preach... it's just an inconsistent position to hold to. Here is a quote from someone much smarter than the both of us.<BR/><BR/>"It used to be that “tolerance was . . . the virtue that permits, even encourages, those with whom we disagree to speak up and defend their point of view. . . . In other words, one had to disagree with someone or something before one could tolerate it. But in our postmodern world, tolerance is increasingly understood to be the virtue that refuses to think that any opinion is bad or evil or stupid. One ‘tolerates’ everything because nothing is beyond the pale – except the view that rejects this view of tolerance: for that, there is no tolerance at all. Quite frankly, this is intellectually incoherent”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
