Great Quote on Tolerance

Found in this article, "The Tragedy of the Religious Left" by Chuck Colson, via Kathy Shaidle and Andrea Harris:

Dorothy Sayers, the great English writer, said it best: “In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”

It's been said that apathy, not hate, is the true opposite of love. Tolerance, as it is defined today, is the ultimate in apathy.

Comments

And without God and the promise of salvation in Christ, there is nothing but despair and emptiness.

So true, Barb. Sometimes that promise is the only thing that keeps me going.
