Tolerance

A certain amount of tolerance is not a bad thing. Tolerance means: "sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own belief." Notice I said, a certain amount. But rest assured there will times in all our lives when we must draw the line on tolerance and make a stand. A time when we must put forth our ideals and refuse to waiver. Like the Papa in Fiddler on the Roof, we can all bend from time to time but when the issue is important to you, if you choose to bend too far, you will break. When these events occur we must not fall into sin and be complacent.

This quote says it best..."In the world it is called tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair. The sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die." Dorothy Sayers
