More to follow, but for now some preliminary thoughts on the
popular Brony slogan "Love and Tolerance," inspired by DGD's recent
blogging on certain Brony misunderstandings of sex:
If we understand love in the Aristotelian-Thomistic
tradition (of which, the Christian virtue of charity is the culmination), then
a certain relationship with toleration follows:
1. If to love is to will the good of another.
and
2. If to tolerate is to respect (or put up with) another's
differing ideas or lifestyle.
Therefore
3. If you love someone, you cannot tolerate that which is
contrary to the good of another.
If the argument is sound, the relationship you have with
another person determines the amount of tolerance you can give to another
person's disagreements in ideas and actions.
To be continued...
