There is, after all, no moral difference between the bigot and the tolerator. They are from case to case positive or negative.

A heart assured of its purpose will have the honor to admit when it is wrong, the courage to examine the reason for its faith and the strength to recover from the pain of any wrong it has done. And it will possess the greatest power known to both God and man; the power to forgive “AND” most certainly forget. A heart such as this shall always have the voice to answer life. A heart such as this, I too desire. ↗
