      The question of good and evil…I believe there is both…do we tolerate evil? Or is “intolerance” considered the greatest evil? hmmmm

    Indeed.. And tolerance is about understanding yourself. To be tolerant is about going into what you really don’t like…

    Amen, Lynn–tolerance can lead to acceptance & fellowship despite the differences in opinions, beliefs, & religions. All we need is Love–tempered with tolerance; just saying.
