But should all things be tolerated? If someone's religious beliefs tell them that keeping slaves is ok should they be allowed to keep slaves? Should we say "well I disagree with you but that is your religion and I respect that". Or should we say "sorry, but your religion does not meet the basic standards of human society and is wrong"?
