I've thought about this all day... and I really think the 'tolerance' just boils down to "leaving it alone" whatever IT is per topic. Does that make sense?


I guess, it's helpful sometimes to not interfere. I think that makes one apathetic in his views related to anything 'per topic' though, while now that I thought about it more myself, there should be a dialog and interaction between people of different beliefs who disagree, because in a public debate..etc, you know that at least you get to say what you believe in and argue for it, listen to the opposing side/s and know that you won't be bashed for it.
That is if the debate was between balanced minded people/s who are more interested in the arguments made than their previous/still current position of it or the urge to rip their opponent apart. 
But again, maybe it's best to leave something alone, I agree.
I wouldn't debate/state/argue my point because frankly it comes out as nonsense to others as theirs does to me. I argue about the real things I care about and leave religion alone. Noone has the correct answers on it and never have. Besides, I get what your hoping for (apathy) but I'd rather keep my mouth shut on the issue rather than get in arguement for something that means so little to me in my view or rather even killed for it. Religion and politics are heated discussions alone, but some take it to the extrememe and I'd rather have no stance on it. Maybe that's what I was trying to say but used the 'live and let live' reference to lightly. Personally I think religion is a personal issue and should remain that way.

.XD well anyway, Ika...to answer your question:
Its tricky really, because even if your atheist, or cofusionist  or vegetarian you all have different views on things. And even your religious tolerance preference is influenced by your lifestyle/ thinking. So, ive come up with a kind of mediator when it comes to this question. Everyone has a right to their stated opinion and stated religion. However, if someone should act on their religion in a way that it harms society, I think the tolerance should end there. Now, I don’t believe that an entire religion should be intolerable based on a few members actions. Like for instance...9/11. There were maybe 1% of the Muslim population commencing and for that kind of stuff, now what happens for every Muslim who doesn’t do these things? Should they receive the same intolerance and persecution? I don’t think so.  Now, all this even applies to Christianity even though it’s not technically a religion. And it applies to life preferences/lifestyles as well.


So, to sum it up abit...our tolerance is influenced by what we do and what we believe. This tolerance applies to religion. Everyone has the right to believe what they want, but the acts of a few should not reflect the beliefs of the many.

I'd say that may not always be the case, but I have a feeling you were describing a regular occurrence.

Yeah, I understand why would you rather not debate about religion. You don't care for religion, why debate it, right?

Politics I don't touch often, but religion I get involve in mostly, does it have the potential to turn into heated arguments? Sure, but not if people respected each other. 
You mean people shouldn't preach what they believe?

My opinions is right has the possibility of being wrong, and your opinion is wrong has the possibility of being right.

In a way, every person will believe his/her beliefs is the best for society. Frustrated what was funny though?
