-MSN Encarta Dictionary

With humility comes tolerance. Tolerance does not mean you need to support something you do not believe in. It is neither condoning nor condemning but, rather, an agree-to-disagree mentality. We are all flawed. We are all human. If we are focused on fixing our own mistakes, we have no time to judge others based on their´s. I write this because sometimes I get so upset with Christians and their ¨holier than thou¨ attitude that I am ashamed to call myself one. Shouldn´t we be the shining example of tolerance? of peace? of forgiveness? I firmly believe that we should be examples of what we believe but we should not push those beliefs on other people. It never works. It ends up pushing them away.

Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have recieved from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
