That is so true. Tolerance is the ability to accept people who have a different belief system, not necessarily to accept their beliefs. The fact that I disagree with someone’s beliefs does not make me intolerant of their person.

There is another option to consider when discussing beliefs: 1. I am right, you are wrong; 2. You are right, I am wrong; 3. We’re both wrong. ;)
