Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~After all, if tolerance weren’t bad, why would we have zero tolerance policies?
~Tolerance is the virtue of people who don’t believe in anything.
~Tolerant of what? Sin or evil, right? Almost by definition, how can it be good to allow evil?
~Don’t we always say that if you fail to stop evil, that’s as good as being a part of it?
~“All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.” What’s the difference between tolerance and doing nothing?
~Is God tolerant?
~Sin wants to be first tolerated and then endorsed. Look at the gay movement.
~If you are supposed to love your neighbor as yourself, how can you tolerate his sin?
~Tolerance has certainly been thought the public virtue of this country for a very long time, but look where that’s gotten us. Abortion, Pornography, Divorce, Homosexuality, Greed, Profanity, Violence, Atheism, and False religions of all sorts, from cults to Islam.
