[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]It is my opinion that my selection of the definition in question better suits an orderly and civil society, and that adhering to a less stringent definition indeed provides the illusion of civility when one is in fact undermining mankind's determination to live in peace.[/i] Your opinion is noted. Your opinion is also irrelevant. When people talk about tolerance in the religious sense, they mean tolerance by the first or third definitions. "I'm not going to kill my neighbor because he disagrees with me." That is totally different from acceptance, which is closer to (though not nearly synonymous with) the second definition of tolerance. If you mean "tolerance", say "tolerance". If you mean "acceptance", say "acceptance". But don't say "tolerance" when you mean "acceptance," just because you think the confusion you cause will somehow lead to a better world. If you want to preach acceptance, then fine, do it. But don't claim that it's something else entirely. [/QB][/QUOTE]
