Me too, but I have been on the other side too. The fear is the truth is in some way compromised by holding tolerance as a great virtue. And it is true we do define limits to our tolerance. I will state there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ, for example.

You are right and I think what I was meaning when I started this is just tolerance of each other, not necessarily of people's doctrines or beliefs.

I can understand some of the concern mentioned that by being too tolerant that you can appear to be compromising.

I guess the word tolerance looked better than saying what's missing is people being NICE! LOL!!!

Exactly what I was thinking. Why can't people just be nice?
