i know which i prefer...

I practice tolerance and respect. When both of those are truly embraced and acted upon, it will make for a better world.

I have respect and tolerance for all mankind. However, when my individual rights and freedoms are threatened because a few people are running around saying they are offended by this or that, my tolerance and respect begins to dwindle away......

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)


Phew!

The REAL scripture is as follows:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4."CHARITY SUFFERETH LONG, AND IS KIND; CHARITY ENVIETH NOT: CHARITY VAUNTETH NOT ITSELF, IS NOT PUFFED UP.
5.DOTH NOT BEHAVE ITSELF UNSEEMLY, SEEKTH NOT HER OWN, IS NOT EASILY PROVOKED, THINKETH NO EVIL.
6.REJOICETH NOT IN INIQUITY BUT,REJOICETH IN THE TRUTH.
7.BEARETH ALL THINGS, BELIEVETH ALL THINGS, HOPETH ALL THINGS, ENDURETH ALL THINGS.
8.CHARITY NEVER FAILETH: BUT WHETHER THERE BE PROPHECIES, THEY SHALL FAIL, WHETHER THERE BE TONGUES, THEY SHALL CEASE, WHETHER THERE BE KNOWLEDGE, IT SHALL VANISH AWAY.

The real Scripture?
Here was me thinking it was written in Greek!
As such, surely the word is agape... selfless, worshipful love.

i think we're sort of missing the point by discussing this anyway...

"Love is the only adequate response"--Mother Teresa

MACHEOVELLI SAID THAT FEAR IS A STRONGER EMOTION THAN LOVE, THAT IS LOVE GOES AWAY,BUT I BELIEVED IN THAT UNTIL GOD PULLED ME THROUGH A NEAR FATAL CAR WRECK IN 2001 , I'M FINE NOW!BUT I VOTE ON LOVE ,VIVA JESUS!
