BE TOLERANT!

Should we be tolerant of racism too? Nazism?Murder? Bigotery? Should we tolerate intolerance?

As far as i'm concern, i don't tolerate it. I'm aguing about the effect of bad ideologies, i am not arguing about people going to church.i'am arguying against the ideology behind prayers when it leads parents to effectively kill their children, and getting religious exemptions for it. I am not arguing against people praying god to get a new cat.

No one's buying your lemonade hitchslap...its as polluted as the flint water supply. Too soon?

Hitchslap is 125ch109's alt confirmed.

I don't have any problem with people arguying against abortion Jai...
I might disagree with them, but i'm not going to insult them or scream INTOLERANCE! at them. I'm all for people standing up for themselves and their ideas, and i reserve myself the right to do the same.
See how tolerance works?

No, not from you, really. Looking at the number of times you've called others 'ignorant' for their opinions on this thread alone, you don't really seem very tolerant.

ideology behind prayers when it leads parents to effectively kill their children

Good god, the 'ideology' of praying isn't to kill one's own children, it is to reflect and to seek help from a deistical figure. People don't pray 'God, please kill my child.'

Granted, there have been cases where children have died because of denied medication, but this has nothing to do with praying. When people pray, they ( I hope) pray with good intentions. It is Religion, the belief that divine intervention will save you rather than medication thats leads to these neglected deaths. Praying merely gives someone a platform for someone to express his religious feelings, it is entirely harmless.

PS : I noticed wct hasn't replied to my post.

come again? you are trying to make an argument for a change, go for it. How does me calling out ignorance has anything to do with tolerance?

When people pray, they ( I hope) pray with good intentions.

Oh please, i never argued that they didn't pray with good intentions or that they wanted to kill their children. In fact this is one of many example for wich good people, with good intentions, do bad things because of faith. In case it is still unclear, i'm arguying against faith and faith related ideologies, not against religious people, who are the primary victim of it

You said, and I quote ' ,i'am arguying against the ideology behind prayers when it leads parents to effectively kill their children, and getting religious exemptions for it. ' You need to stop jumping around.

Should we tolerate intolerance?

I don't believe in 100% tolerance, there are good things, but bad things don't deserve to be tolerated. For someone who claims to not tolerate intolerance, you aren't doing a very good job.

effectively, as in "in effect", not in intention. Maybe that's my fault, not being completely explicit for obvious things,not covering my ass against any potential strawman that could be directed at me.
edit: there is also a possibility that i'm not conveying my ideas as clearly as possible because i'm not a native english speaker, but the word "effectively" was there for a reason. I believe that this word did make the meaning of what i said clearer, and if you dissmiss this word, then of course what i say becomes more ambiguous. Plus you would have to either think that i'm incredibly stupid, or yourself be intellectually dishonest i think, to actually think that i meant parents praying litteraly wants their children to die.

I don't believe in 100% tolerance, there are good things, but bad things don't deserve to be tolerated.

Well lets be positive, at least we agree on something

Quit giving the bigot his fight, leave him be and we will all win against him.

@Hitchslap, you know you're on to something good when bigots call you a bigot for not bowing down to their bigotry. :-)
