Nobody wants to be identified as "intolerant" as that word has other implications. Tolerance and diversity are both good when practiced but neither have reached the status of a virtue. Sorry Dean Kevin as I rarely disagree but on this one, I feel like I must.

Kudos. The case you make for toleration in allowing for own freedoms of religious belief rings true loud and clear. Great post. Thank you for that reminder.
