So chocolate is in fact a universal good. However, although I tolerate dark chocolate, milk chocolate is better

Is Tolerance a Good Thing? [View all] MineralMan Mar 2019 OP

Yes, I agree with that and we also need to pay attention to context marylandblue Mar 2019 #1

Yes. Comparing fundamentally dissimilar things wastes time. MineralMan Mar 2019 #2

I can't think of anything that is universally good. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2019 #3

Chocolate haters are irrational and the allergic need conversion therapy marylandblue Mar 2019 #5

I must disagree with you, in the most emphatic terms, about dark chocolate. MineralMan Mar 2019 #6

I must, it seems, agree with you on this matter. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #10

A number of posts in this room of 'religion' I 'tolerate'. sprinkleeninow Mar 2019 #7

Is unconditional tolerance a good thing? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #9

What confusion is that? MineralMan Mar 2019 #11

The confusion evident in your original post. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #12

Which you didn't read, apparently. MineralMan Mar 2019 #13

That is, I believe, the first time you have qualified tolerance or intolerance MineralMan Mar 2019 #15

If you read the actual posts, guillaumeb Mar 2019 #16

Correction. trotsky Mar 2019 #18

The intolerance directed at theists is directed against them because they are theists. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #20

The existence of just one non-persecuted theist in China completely disproves your position. trotsky Mar 2019 #27

A failure in logic. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #32

As you are entitled to your (completely wrong) opinion. trotsky Mar 2019 #42

There's also the fact that non-theists are persecuted for the same reasons Major Nikon Mar 2019 #40

It's all about trying to tie the intolerance of the Chinese government to atheism, of course. trotsky Mar 2019 #43

Don't forget how the Boston Atheists blackballed a Trump humper Major Nikon Mar 2019 #45

So all intolerance is equally bad, but it's universal, so marylandblue Mar 2019 #19

No, but by recognizing the universality, guillaumeb Mar 2019 #21

Either it is all equal, or it is not. If it is all equal, then you have an amoral philosophy. marylandblue Mar 2019 #22

I disagree. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #23

You never actually argue for that position. marylandblue Mar 2019 #24

All human behavior has a cause. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #25

Not all behaviors are truly universal. marylandblue Mar 2019 #26

Your opinion. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #29

Are you not taking the opinion that "intolerance" is universal? marylandblue Mar 2019 #31

I am taking the position that intolerance can be found among every group of humans. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #33

Just be clear, do you think intolerance is also found in all individuals? marylandblue Mar 2019 #34

Yes to the first. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #36

You said intolerance is found in all groups. How.did you mean the term? marylandblue Mar 2019 #37

It is a confusing term. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #38

Well the two types of intolerance are not the same. marylandblue Mar 2019 #39

We agree. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #47

Yeah, but so what. It's not an endpoint, it's a marker. marylandblue Mar 2019 #48

But that begs the question. trotsky Mar 2019 #44

If your religious doctrine commands intolerance and you follow it... Major Nikon Mar 2019 #41

And if 100% of theists agreed with this interpretation, guillaumeb Mar 2019 #46

The assertion doesn't require you agree with it in order to be true Major Nikon Mar 2019 #49

Your assertion is simply that. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #55

It's a statement of fact Major Nikon Mar 2019 #56

You have a unique defintion of the word "fact". eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #57

Your assertion is evidence of a personal opinion Major Nikon Mar 2019 #58

Once again, you reveal yourself. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #59

The whole idea behind posting is revealing something, Gil Major Nikon Mar 2019 #60

Does a church doctrine require 100% agreement to be harmful? marylandblue Mar 2019 #50

Tolerance is work. You'd have to pay me to do that and I wouldn't be happy. hunter Mar 2019 #14

Well, it's not like such priests were advertising what they were doing. MineralMan Mar 2019 #51
