'Tolerance as an all-embracing virtue' is an invention of the liberal left; a corruption of Christianity.


Are we to tolerate forced marriages or female circumcision? Should we tolerate the subjugation of women beacause it forms the part of another culture? The examples are endless.


The liberal left, in order to 'fight discrimination' ,has become incapable of being discriminating.


These are the same people who accuse Christians of being 'judgemental' if they stand up for Scriptural truths. Not a particularly clever means of attack, it is one which has enjoyed disproportionate amounts of success, largely because of that fifth column in Christianity called the liberal church.
