Blog question #5

Much of our conversation in class today was about religious toleration, which is, after all, mainly what Locke's letter is about. But is Locke's argument applicable to other kinds of controversies?

Should Locke's notion of tolerance be extended to members of the Flat Earth Society? Why, or why not?
