everyone believes they are right, and also feel that others should believe the same. the problem isn't that there is no tolerance. Take Christianity for example, if you believe and I don't, you go to heaven and I go to hell. on the other hand, for fundamentalist denominations of Islam (some of them) feel that if you believe and I don't, then I will go to hell, but YOU will go to hell if you don't convert me. so that certain aspect doesn't help things....

I personally think that we are afraid of differences of religions because we may be shown that what we have believed all along is not correct!   My mother was old school with her attitude that if such and such religion was good enough for her parents, it was good enough for her, and lots of folks are like that. They don't WANT to hear or learn about anything different, because then they might have to rethink everything they know and believe!  It's just easier for some to go with the flow rather than learn something new that may change everything!

Religion is not about tolerance (despite much lip service to the contrary), it is about power and control and whenever that is challenged it brings about war. Sad but true!

No, people will never get along and respect each other's religion.. why? because people are egotistical and believe that THEIR religion and thoughts are the ONLY ones which are right.  It has always been so.. and WILL always be so.. sad and stupid.. but true.   \nand I MUST note.. I would have a lot more respect for someone if they took the time to actually SPELL what they are trying to say and then READ it before they post it.

There are 'religions' such as Baptist, Methodist, Catholics, Jewish, Islamic, Muslim, etc. These religions have specific practices. \n\nThere are many people who do not fully support the teachings and practices of these common religions because over the years, many of them have become platforms for various people to promote their opinions and enforce others to believe the same way. \n\nWhile they do not believe in 'religion' or 'church', they do still believe in a higher power in this universe. They probably refer to themselves as being 'Spiritual' instead of 'religious'. \n\nI however, would argue that part of the world's biggest problem is people who cast stones at things they do not understand. This is the mentality that keeps the world at war with each other.

No, Christians are called upon to be tolerant and respectful of other religions and cultures.  But if you take a look at the "religion and spirituality" section of this site, you'll see that often isn't the case.

Some people just feel the need to be vulgar without any real reason for it.  I have found that there isn't really a lot of religious tolerance demonstrated on this forum.  I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, but I also try to respect the views and beliefs of the other religions of this forum.  Someone else on this site asked once, "why can't we just agree to disagree?"  The foul language isn't necessary.

I do not agree.  What I think would be nice would be for each of us to open our mind, be tolerant of the different religions and beliefs and respect each others diversity and learn from others. I practice my freedom of choice by ignorning hateful, blasphemous and disrespectful questions on this forum.

Sure, I answer.  I don't have a problems with different religions.  Talk to me all you want but you still won't convince me that your way is the only and right way.

even i dont understand this entire religion thing...if we wudnt have been divided into religions then world wud have been a better place to live in...with every religion trying to prove itself better than the other, we have even lost our basic human principals like kindness, forgiveness, etc. We are ready to kill each other for it but where the hell does any religion asks its followers to kill each other for it...will any of these religious people explain this...all these people who make an issue out of it are not even worth belonging 2 any religion...\nwell honestly i am not the kinds who'll just go blah blah blah about my religion but i just respect others as individuals...& when i have children, i'll try my best 2 make them good human beings & not segregate people into religions...

If people sat back and realized just how similar most beliefs really are they'd be surprised. I think all religion is virtually the same and all religions taut the same things. All people want the same things regardless of religion or non-religion. We all want peace, love, a better tolerant world for our children, a better life for ourselves. Its when we start to claim we're one particular religion and start spouting from a sacred book that we take literally instead of as a guideline and start shoving it down other people's throats that's when the problem starts. \n\nWhen people stop evangelizing, take care of their own life but show compassion without price, live by example, avoid harassing others to convert, and spread the fundamental beliefs without all the extraneous trivial details exclusive to one religion or another.....then we'll start to see some real improvement.

But all religions are not same. Christianity, or Islam, for example, are based on monotheism, where as hinduism, is polytheism. It's the political views. One's religion does not contribute as much to conflict as politics. Some people give some political issues the name of "religion" and cause much friction between 2 or more religions. That's what causes the conflicts. Because of so many years of believing that religion is the reason for controversies, now the people are actually starting to believe that the conflict is due to different religions and not politics, which is further complicating the relations of two different religions.

There were many religions before Christianity. Judaism is one, just the Old Testament. Other religions have multiple Gods and Goddesses. Some have none. Christianity is not the only and not the first and maybe not even the right religion.

I have no religious beliefs but it is my understanding that all the major religions say that we are all equal in the eyes of God. To grant special status to one person or section of a congregation is therefor merely pandering to that person's ego. Of course the dictates of common good manners should apply at all times and to all visitors equally.

I believe you're missing the whole point of Religiosity: \n\nIt has NOTHING to do with "GOING AGAINST" all religions unless the doctrines you want to preach are filled with HATRED for others.\n\nPeace be with you...
