R.E - "As a society we are moving closer to tolerance and an understanding of peoples differences" (3 Marks)?

According to the demographics presented by the Pew Foundation In the USA, our youth (under 35) are less religious, less political and much more tolerant that the older, established folk.

One notable change....In the USA, among older Jewish, 70+, 95% married within their faith. The under 35 report 17% married within their faith.

The acceptance of gays and women in today's society is very obvious.

Yes. Thank you Liberals.

Remembert that Xtian America gave us Jim Crow. Cessation of civil rights. Slavery. Witch hunts and executions. No votes for women and the genocide of the original inhabitants.

Liberals stopped all of the above. That's why they hate us.

Western society is promoting the idea of tolerance so much that you now have to replace "tolerance" with "acceptance".

In other words, it isn't enough to show you tolerate something or someone. You have to publicly show that you accept that something or that someone, even if your conscience does not allow you to accept the principle of the 'thing' being tolerated.

For instance, so far, Society does not tolerate murderers or pedophiles. It draws the line at tolerating or accepting such behaviours or the people who do such things. So the question needs to be asked, where does tolerance have to stop? And, who determines where the line is drawn? Who are these people who tell us that we must tolerate and accept this, that or the next thing? Until those questions are asked and the answers found, society is being herded like a flock of sheep towards a moral precipice. There are lots of people out there who want morality to conform to their particular views. And once they have got society far enough down the road of tolerance and acceptance, society will find it has no road map whatsoever to guide it in the storms of life.

(PS - You won't get any marks from your examiners for daring to say any of this. Which proves my point about people being herded like sheep into a moral wilderness.)

Only the society which has a standard of truth at its core will move towards peace and understanding. That standard of truth is the Bible. If not, then there is no peace.

When u learn more about Isalam u will be proud of your religion .do u believe every thing in islam is forbidden .there is no life .I don't know why they are calling them self we are islam .islam means salam or peace when u see there is no peace no life every thing is in religion

No.

In certain areas yes....interracial marriage is common now.....homosexual practice is no longer illegal but still areas where old ideas are clung on to......like religions....which one is right....evolution/creationism....and adherents refuse to accept that it would not be disloyal to their faiths to understand that people think differently and their beliefs are just as valid.

Is this a joke ?

Intolerance is on the rise - be it from theists or atheists.
