Hi Brothers. I just read
What an interesting statement.
I am sure many will have different views on if it's accurate... what "permit" and "promote" means.. but as someone who realises so many things are beyond my control, and also not being very authoritarian and respecting the right of people to do legal things which I do not like and has a belief in freedom and hence many things should not be made illegal based on what I do and don't like. I will permit (tolerate) things I would never promote...
I think of a brothers recent post on attending a gay wedding when he does not believe in them but the statement was made in the context of leasing a masonic building to an " irregular group" and the fact I've leased ours on occasion to the OTO, which a group I would not promote, the phrase "What you permit you promote" is one I would like to discuss.
Perhaps this should be in the philosophy section in the context of ethics versus morals ... but what are the thoughts of members of the forum on the phrase "What you permit you promote" ?
What you permit, you promote
