[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] Omega: [QUOTE] <a href=http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=tolerate>tolerate</a>: 1)To allow without prohibiting or opposing; permit. 2)To recognize and respect (the rights, beliefs, or practices of others). 3)To put up with; endure. [/QUOTE] If you only accept meaning 1 or 3, then, yeah, I'm redefining the word. How evil. I imagine if I were a politician Bill O'Reilly would be lambasting me already as the latest in Satan's clutch of liberal scum. But, *gasp*, look at number 2. Using that sense of the word, one who does not recognize and respect the rights, beliefs, or practices of others is therefore intolerant. Explain to me how Person A can be tolerant and yet hold the belief that those who worship God [at all/in a different way to him or her] is [patently ignorant, stupid and kooky/living in sin]. Oh, yes, oozing with respect. [/QB][/QUOTE]
