Question

By using Ronald Nash's "Life's Ultimate Questions" for reference, define tolerance (Chapter 16). Assume that a friend of yours prides himself on his tolerance and open-mindedness. One reason he wants you to know that he has become an ethical relativist is because he believes you're too rigid and too intolerant because of your belief in transcendent and objective moral standards. How would you answer your friend?
