Tolerance Blog Post

Tolerance: The ability or willingness to allow the existence occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

I remember around the 5th grade when I had just moved, I wasn't as tolerance as I was now, but wasn't completely intolerance. I had came to church one day and saw my friend walking, and I had asked him if he was going up to church. He said No i'm not christian; So then I asked what religion he was. He said No again, but also said "I don't believe in any god." When that went through mind I was thinking "What! how could this guy not believe in anything?" He just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. So that got me thinking, what if I persuaded my friend to believe in god, Like jesus. So the next day when I saw him at school. Tried to get him to read the bible, after the few failed attempts of trying to get this guy to believe in god. I finally got what was going wrong; this guy just really didn't think their was a god, and after the few years of me remembering that story, I just had to wonder how annoying I had to been to him. But I think this event will really help me in the future to be less intolerance, and not just that, I think this event will help my become a better person overall
