Tolerism Bollocks

Post by mistermack » Sun Aug 16, 2015 3:59 pm

what sort of bollocks is Tolerism?

I might respect your right to think whatever you come up with, but that doesn't mean I'm going to respect WHAT you thought, just because it might be important to you.

Why on earth would you treat all ideas equally, however loony?
I used to think Dawkins was a bit over-the-top, but no, he's got the right idea.
If an idea is really stupid, give it the treatment. Don't give it respect, just because someone is deluded.

Intolerism is the way to go. Fuck your religion.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Who said Tolerists™ "treat all ideas equally?" Not me.

There is a difference however between critically examining and rebutting a specious idea and acting like a raving, spittle-flinging lunatic merely because someone doesn't believe what you believe.

Tolerism sounds like some shite Ron L. Hubbard would make up.
Libertarianism: The belief that out of all the terrible things governments can do, helping people is the absolute worst.

You're confused. You should stop posting while looking in the mirror.

Since it's clear you don't have the first idea about it, I'm not particularly insulted.

Sounds like nearly everyone is a tolerist then. Impressive.
Or, a tolerist is like everyone else. Not very impressive.

It's good to know that HItler was a tolerist.
He only became a ravng lunatic when he started to lose the war.
He was quite cool, when he gave the order to kill the Jews.

Why wouldn't they? If you understood the religion, you might find it useful. Evidently you're too unalterably biased to even investigate it, which is hardly unusual in the Atheist religion.
