Been dazed and confused.. Hehe.. Led Zeppelin.
Anyway! I'm wondering. Tolerance. We are all against violence.. Because that is what being a hippie is about, right? So do we tolerate violence? No, I wouldnt think so. But we generally tolerate other religions, and views. What views do we tolerate? What views do we NOT tolerate? Do we tolerate all views? Do we tolerate only ones we think are okay? What do you think?

I'm against violence, of course. I don't think really anyone in this guild isn't. I think it depends on the person on what they tolerate. Most things I tolerate are things that can't hurt people. Like same-sex marriage, who will it hurt?

Tolerance is a spiritual goal and in as much transcends "hippie-dom" which is a circuit 4 terrestrial stage/state
All social groups have collective norms/codes of practice-stated or otherwise. When the norm/code becomes more important than the individual it becomes dogma.
this can happen to groups of hippies too.
I follow the words-
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Love is the law. Love under will."

It's always best to suspend judgement, but sometimes, you gotta watch out...

I tolerate all views, but not all actions. There are inevitably times when actions and views are so linked that you sort of have to be against, but it's still the actions that I'm basing it on.

uh...ok...
Tolerance is the ability to interact with others without judging them or their actions. If one seeks to change societal norms surely it should be by our own examples not by word or thought. I believe that everyone has their own karma. The world and life experience will teach those who need it and meanwhile I try to make sure I live up to my own ideology.
It's easy to talk the talk. It is walking the walk that is hard!!!!!
Love All Ways.

I Tolerate alot of religions. But the one I kind of have a problem with is Christians (no offence to anyone who is on here) But the relatives I have are racist christians and any other religion that is not theres. Means they worship the devil.

So ya its hard when I watch "The Craft" or any movie to do with Witchcraft of any sort. Because she would get on her any one who does anything occult to her, "Is going to hell," and then she talks about Lord and everything. But I just listen to her and won't yell at her, I just shake it off. I know I should say "How do you KNOW that" I mean I don't KNOW what will happen to me when I die. But I believe in my religion and believe I will go to the Summerlands and then be reincarnated (excuse my spelling)

And then when I talk about Herbs and such she says that she doesn't want me to learn about them, because its witchcraft. And she says she will pray to the lord for my soul.

Well she would die if she searched my room or found out I was Wiccan and a Witch.

Also I may be disowned by my relatives (not my mum though she is alright with any ones religion and customs and everything)

Sorry it may just be my family, but I believe a lot of christians believe that any religion, but there own is worshiping the Devil.

Well you can't change everyone and we are all different, so I tolerate it. I know I disagree with there views, but I live with there choice and I don't try and change there mind and make them see my way.

Well anyway off that subject...

I think Tolerance means you will live with other peoples views, customs, race, religion, ect. And you respect them for who they are, even if you disagree with them.

To me, tolerance is accepting views of another person though you may not agree with them. I am a tolerant person. I accept all religions, philisophies, and opinions.

The only problem is when someone's views harm another living creature. Such as the practice of human/animal sacrefice in the name of religion. Or holy wars. The religions themselves I have no problem with it is just those particular practices. You can still keep the religion without them. Most of the time though, the majority of followers in that religion shun those practices as well. Example: Most Muslims/Christians/Jews don't beleive going to war in the name of God is a good thing.
