About this title: Ever since humankind raised its head toward the heavens in search of universal understanding and spiritual fulfilment, wars, pogroms, persecution, prejudice, and contempt have been the means of resolving the many and varied disagreements that have arisen over matters religious.

"Although there's a lot of rambling going on here, this is a pretty damn reasonable book. Basically, if government's aren't tolerant of religious differences, it's just going to bite them in the ass by making hypocrites or seditious enemies of those they're intolerant of. And it's not going to do any good to try and force people to share certain religious beliefs, because we tend to arrive at beliefs by justification, not force.
The most basic claim, one that we would do well to remind ourselves of today (and one which it would be nice to see someone share on CNN), is that disagreement over religious matters is widespread, persistent, and intractable, so if we're going to have a government based on the consent of all those governed, that government had better not invoke some particular set of religious beliefs as a basis for its policies."
"At the heart of a civil society attempting to keep diversity, not necessarily equality, though the equality argument must extend from his arguments. One of the great statements in human history. Tolerance not from compassion, but from self-interest. It works."
"Carta sobre la tolerancia es una obra fundamental para entender el pensamiento de John Locke y para entender los fundamentos teóricos de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Su base filosófica de libertad individual (del cual es el padre) se encuentra vertida a lo largo y ancho de esta pequeña carta, y aunque en un principio me emocionó por lo trascendente y aplicable de sus palabras en la actualidad (sobretodo en el contexto europeo en el cuál me encuentro), mi juventud no deja de juzgar las acciones que Locke tenía en la Royal African Company (compra-venta de esclavos)ni su injerencia en el genocidio de los norteamericanos nativos. En fin, como dice Galeano "La historia es una paradoja andante"."
