I don't understand what you're arguing. I'm saying that morals codes are relative, but certain ones are very much shared almost world-wide. As such, in regard to intolerance, there is good reason to avoid it whether or not one holds it as directly morally abhorrent.
If you want to be facetious and continue into the realm of ludicrosity, assuming that there are no shared morals, then there is always the pragmatic aspect of tolerance as well. As social beings, our standard of living is improved by the cooperation of others. Hence, it is generally better for one to be understanding when it comes to the beliefs of others.
