I believe tolerance is an essential part of spirituality although I do view it as a halfway house to acceptance. Unquestionable acceptance is almost an impossible task while in physical incarnation. Tolerance however can be reached by most of us and I believe should be incorporated within our beliefs in what ever form it takes. Intolerance is a sure sign there is a flaw in our spiritual understanding not in those of another. Every person no matter what race or colour has the right to follow a belief of their own choosing. They should be free to follow that belief without fear or persecution.
