I don't accept anything that harbors hate , abuse and exploitation of children / adults / elderly / animals . And it's my duty as a human to raise my voice and any other possible hell I can in my community to bring awareness and whatever else I can bring .
Understanding and accepting are two different animals sweetheart . Open mind does not mean u accept and everybody joins hands , and the music plays , and someone says " might your own buisness ".
Open mind means : I will research . I will listen . I might even understand y u raped and killed litle Jonny . But I ll be damn if I will accept u and go merry merry on my way and forget about it . Not this cat .
Actually, not. While yes, do not impose, but understand other's beliefs rather than accept. You may then choose to accept or not depending on what they are.
Yet there is a problem.
If harm is being done, if people are being hurt and disadvantaged, if bigotry and injustice are being inflicted - then we DO have a duty to criticise, to state that what is being done is wrong and unjust.
And if that harm is being inspired, driven and justified by beliefs that are, of themselves, invalid - then those beliefs are, themselves, harmful and should be properly opposed.
Yes, it's 'nice to be nice' - but if doctrines are hurting people, killing people and damaging lives, then by not opposing those doctrines you are indirectly supporting their continuation, and you become complicit in their harm.
