text: since the bible quotes jesus with dont throw stones if you have sins, does that mean you are to tolerate sin? difference between tolerance and acceptance.  i tolerate fundamentalists but i don't accept them. i answered the definition question before i found this one. i accept everyone but might not accept their beliefs. i tolerate everyone but i might not like them. i'm lost. i had some lady tell me i am stupid today and that i live in a bubble of non-existing sunshine. not word for word but nicer than what was actually said. i don't accept her opinion of me as truth but i will tolerate her right to have that opinion. when i am done here i am going to go look up both of those words to see how i misuse them.  love & light sharon one planet = one people
