A popular term that no one really thinks about.

People like to throw this phrase around, but they don't stop and think about what it means and what it implies. Lets take a closer look.

A truly tolerant worldview, one that accepts all religions, is literally impossible. Think about it: if you tolerate all religions, you must include those religions that claim exclusive truth. The practice of that exclusive religion will be seen as a violation of the tolerance rule, and thus be banned (i.e., NOT TOLERATED)!

Do you see it now? To tolerate everything is really to tolerate nothing but one view. The "tolerance" view is self-defeating. It demands that all worldviews conform to its own; it is a philosophical monopoly. So anyone who claims that intolerant religions should be banned is being quite intolerant!

Face it, there's no such thing as universal tolerance. There can never be a time when all the world tolerates all views. The pursuit of unity can only result in the suppression of freedom of conscience.

This is also the pipe dream of the ecumenists, who are trying to meld all religions into one. They either don't realize what they're doing or are deliberately aiming to annihilate all other religions but their own. There is no way, for example, that Hindus and Christians are worshipping the same God, and thus no way to glue them together without destroying both.

Religious tolerance is just a euphemism for global religious domination. There's nothing tolerant about it.
