That was my point. John Locke wrote a lot of what he did because of the 30 years war back in the 1600s.

Well I guess we'll see if the cheap secular substitute does a better job at creating a relatively peacefilled world than us Christians did back then.

Time will tell. ... in the meantime, I'm still waiting for the official definition of "Tolerance" to be handed down from on High.

Sorry to leave you waiting. Apparently I participated in this thread 18 months ago. I'm going to leave you hanging though and withhold the official definition...

Tolerance should be thought of as distinct from endorsement. One can argue against the position of others without persecuting them, too. But we should live without trouble among others who are different when they are not actually threatening us.

The paradox of intolerance actually came with a method of identifying the intolerant.

They don't debate.

The intolerant will bear no criticism nor critique nor debate their views.

So when one regards who is and isn't tolerant....ask yourself, are they willing to allow others to scrutinize their beliefs?

Thank you for at least gracing us with your appearance, Hans! ....... Give Prof. Schellenberg my kind regards when next you see him.

Many won't give any definition because it would show that the calls for tolerance these days are usually being made by the intolerant.
