(36,917 posts)23. Because some float the idea religious tolerance demands the acceptance of bad behavior
It would be one thing if this nonsense only came from the right, but you also have those on the left who conflate refusal to accept a bad idea with refusal to accept the people who subscribe to those bad ideas.
