The Intolerance Of Inclusiveness

The amazing thing about tolerance and pluralism is that the intended effect is the opposite of what actually happens. The problem with tolerance is it becomes its own god. In other words if you don't worship at the alter of tolerance, inclusiveness, and pluralism, then there is no tolerance for you.

Being inclusive sounds good, but what does it actually accomplish? Tolerance is touted as "the" way as much as Christianity, Islam, or any other religious order. What we have is a self defeating practice. Most of those who value tolerance and acceptance above all else are not tolerant and accepting of those who value truth or think what a person believes is important.

For those who believe inclusiveness is the highest value I simply ask that you include me and my belief that Jesus is the only way.
