More quotes by Colin McGinn
Tolerating somebody else's beliefs is not failing to criticize them. It's not persecuting them for having those beliefs. That is absolutely important. You should not persecute people for their beliefs. It doesn't mean you can't criticize their beliefs.
Colin McGinn

Colin McGinn

Colin McGinn
