Talk:Tolerance

message: The first section seems a bit too dictionary-like.  The cross-links are more useful than the definition, IMO. Mkmcconn

message: The following paragraph is strange, to me:
:In Christianity, tolerance plays a part with regard to the one's former way of life, as a belief is often professed in the need to put off the old self that was corrupted by its deceitful desires (prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance), and be renewed in the spirit of the mind. Accompanying this is also a corresponding need to put on a new self, which was created to be like God, in righteousness and true holiness, which includes tolerance, 
It quotes from Ephesians 4:22.  In that context, the "old self" and "former way of life" is "ignorance", "hardness of heart", surrender to "sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more".  Can someone find "prejudice, bigotry and intolerance" in this?  It strikes me as a misappropriation of a well-known text for a rare application.  In other words, it sounds as though the editor was explaining himself, rather than explaining the Christian view of tolerance.  Mkmcconn (Talk) 02:42, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: As evidenced by the statement, "There's only one thing I won't tolerate, and that's intolerance". The article leaves unclear the level of tolerance that is tolerable of the intolerant. Matt Stan 11:42, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Tolerance as a conundrum

message: This article conflicts with the Allophilia entry in its definition of the word "tolerance" (first paragraph.)  Allophilia entry states that "tolerance is not the logical antithesis of prejudice, but rather is the midpoint between negative feelings and positive feelings toward others."  However, this entry states that "Tolerance is a recent political term used within debates in areas of social, cultural and religious context, as an emphatic antithesis to discrimination." 71.145.147.132 01:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the following text from section Tolerating the intolerant:
: Issues that are controversial in various countries include the separation of church and state, homosexuality, the consumption of tobacco, alcoholic beverages and other drugs, reading disapproved political tracts, and deviant sexual acts as well as the correct reaction to disorderly conduct and misdemeanours (for example, see zero tolerance policy).
Separation of church and state, if it belongs into this article, should be covered in the previous section on tolerancde and religion. Homosexuality, tobacco etcetera are not per se intolerant and thus do not belong under "Tolerating the intolerant". There may be a case for moving them to another part of this article, but I would vote against it since we then could include half of Wikipedia, as any issue that is controversial somewhere touches naturally on tolerance.

thread_title: Removed text that is not about Tolerating the intolerant

message: I've gone ahead and redirected this page to "Toleration," and moved most of the content from this page to there.  "Toleration" is the more usual heading for this concept, and the article at that page was much less useful than this one.  I've made a few modifications, and included references from the other article in the version of this page that now appears in association with the term "Toleration;" however for the most part I've simply recreated this page at that location.  I hope this merge/redirect will be a useful change. ThaddeusFrye 00:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
