Isn't tolerate such a marvellous word?

Arnt we all just really saying 'I put up with it.. But yeah ... I'm not a huge fan... ? 馃

Well yes. Just as you will tolerate the baby peacefully I will tolerate religion peacefully. If someone puts the baby on your lap or thrusts their religion in my face we might get a bit pissy

Nice answer... or tries to blow you up for not believing in it...
Still don't imply you've embraced it ...
You just put up with it..
Politicians and activists should pick a new word 馃憤
