Today there is the popular lie that tolerance is somehow intolerant. Nobody preaches "tolerance for everything" as Benjamin Bull asserts. But "conservatives" want to destroy the concept of toleration in favor of what? Absolute intolerance? Is it too much to ask that people be reasonable?
Some Christians think their religion lets them be above the law. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. When one opens a business one must play by the rules. Suppose a KKK chapter opens a whites-only hotel? Do they have that right? No, they do not. Same with "morals" tests for guests. Nobody is forcing the owners to live in sin. Disturbing a person's sense of moral outrage is not the same thing as violating their rights.
There has been a demonstrable move away from Judeo-Christian faith and practice in Europe for a number of years. Just ask British hoteliers Peter and Hazelmary Bull.
What was once respected as authoritative is now considered Victorian, and what was widely embraced as a moral guide has been dismissed with the morals in which it guided people…all in the name of tolerance, mind you.
And so the Bulls have experienced the irony of ironies that Christianity is being forced out of the room by those who claim tolerance as their guiding principle.
They used to be poked fun at...












Regarding business activity, thankfully most Americans and the courts disagree with you on that.
"many businesses hang signs saying 'We reserve the right to refuse service.'"
Hanging a sign is one thing. Surviving a lawsuit is another.
You don't think the KKK has a right to open a whites-only hotel. Does someone else have a right to open then a female-only establishment or a blacks-only institution? If some can discriminate, then on what logical basis can you exclude ANY from discriminating? You don't have top agree with them or use their property. You are free. But are THEY free when government can force them into associations?
Yet "conservatives" cried foul when a "right to privacy" meant that homosexual sex was okay on ones own property. Nevertheless, you cannot grow certain controlled substances on your property even if they never leave it. And most "conservatives" back that sort of drug law.
If people of certain religions won't serve EVERYONE who meets their religious criteria consistently, then that doesn't leave the public the option to refuse to enter their business. When you don't see any signs that say so, how is the public supposed to know?
I pretty much agree with you in both cases.
Yet you don't bother pointing out one case of that. Obviously you're bluffing. And you're still evading.
The proponents of multi-culturalism and diversity tend to be the least tolerant people in the country.
They know they are so morally superior that they will not tolerate disagreement
Sometimes I see a statement that is so horrendously misguided as to be hilarious. This is one example.
Really? Then show some.
And sometimes I see a response that is pure evasion. This is one of those. I think "conservatives" imagine most of these so-called examples of intolerance. If you know of a genuine one please point it out. Btw, I'm not saying they don't exist. I'm saying they are not nearly as common as "conservatives" suggest.
