The Intolerance of Tolerance
Apr/04/07 09:14 Filed in: Apologetics
How many times are Christians accused of being
narrow minded or intolerant? But as soon as you say
someone is intolerant are you not being intolerant
yourself?
Greg Koukl at STR.ORG has a great piece on the intolerance of tolerance. Here is a snippet of the article and a link to the full article is below.
“Most of what passes for tolerance today is not tolerance at all, but rather intellectual cowardice. Those who hide behind the myth of neutrality are often afraid of intelligent engagement. Unwilling to be challenged by alternate points of view, they don't engage contrary opinions or even consider them. It's easier to hurl an insult--"you intolerant bigot"--than to confront the idea and either refute it or be changed by it. "Tolerance" has become intolerance”.
