Your religion tells you: you are chosen, you have the truth, everyone else is wrong… but you should *tolerate* them.https://twitter.com/aral/status/731779206854610948 …

You see, if you didn’t feel superior to begin with, you wouldn’t have to tolerate – you could simply *accept*.https://twitter.com/aral/status/731779505547808769 …

So don’t tolerate others, accept them. Because you’re not superior to them &, no, there’s no magic fairy in the sky.https://twitter.com/aral/status/731779628759711744 …

@aral This needs saying more. And it's not only about religion. How DARE I 'tolerate' you? Or you me? We don't have the right... -

@aral We just want to get on with our jobs, our interests, our families. -
If I explained how I 'tolerate' some minority of which I am not a member, the appropriate response to me is contempt not appreciation

@ErikJonker@Johan3362 I like how he's only tolerant because his religion tells him to be, not because he's a decent human being. -

the doctrine of tolerance is a lot like faith really: they both portray refusal to criticise something you think is wrong as a virtue.

@Johan3362 at least in my line of thinking -
Tolerance is a term that implies one has the power to influence the other to his detriment, else the notion is moot.
-
but everybody has that influence, small or large
-
In which case it is proportionally moot ;-)
-
Correction: inverse proportionally moot
