"Tolerance"
Letter to the Editor of the Bremerton Sun October 1990
Mikhail Gorbachev recently said, "Tolerance is the
Alpha and Omega
of the New World Order". Tolerance used to mean respecting a
differing view without having to be accepting of it.
These
days "tolerance" means unity at the expense of integrity. Whether
it's George Bush,
Mikhail Gorbachev, John Paul II, the Dalai Lama, Carl Sagan, Isaac
Asimov, or Billy Graham; regardless of the guru, the whole world is following its leaders into
a Global Unity at the expense of the truth. Two recent examples in
Kitsap County illustrate.
In the fall, 1990 issue of the
Ground Zero Community's newspaper is an interview with Starhawk,
"... a peace activist and leader in the Feminist spirituality...
movements in the United States and Europe." The article speaks of,
"...her Pagan spiritual tradition of Wicca, or Witchcraft." What
kind of integrity does this represent? The Ground Zero Community
includes several who are members of Catholic religious orders. What
are they doing yoking themselves with a Witch, even if it is in the
name of "world peace"?
On September 30th, 1990, 4500
Protestants gathered in the Kitsap
Pavilion for a
"Celebration
of Unity" service. Despite their disclaimers, it was very much
an ecumenical service, with a great diversity of groups including
some who preach "a different gospel".
I say, "Come, let us
reason together...", but let's not be swept away by the bandwagon of
relativistic "tolerance" and "acceptance".
