What’s in a name?

Dear Sir,

Our society claims to be both PC and tolerant. On the one hand we must not say anything, no matter how truthful, that may potentially offend our hearers. On the other hand, because there is no objective truth (so it is claimed), whatever you consider true is true for you, even though it may not be true for me. So in my tolerance I should not be offended by your ‘truth’

But this tolerant society will only ‘tolerate’ what it agrees with, which of course is not tolerance at all. So for example ‘Jesus is the only way’ is a truth claim, just as ‘there is no God’ is a truth claim. But our culture will only tolerate the latter and not the former.
