People confuse a respect for 'personal truths' with tolerance of different views and that's worrying.

Its quite possible to respect a person with different beliefs without having to consider their beliefs true or tell them u think they're not

It's not tolerant to respect personal truths. It is tolerant to respect people's right to different beliefs whilst thinking only one is true

If all beliefs are true, Jesus is the son of God, a respected prophet, a false prophet, a delusional carpenter & never existed. All at once.

I think it's important to accept that there are right & wrong answers even if we don't know or can't be entirely sure what they are.
