I remember thinking this at a very early age.
I saw 3 different girls from three different religions all getting together to support something at school.
I don't understand how people from different religions can actually be freinds.
If you were with someone and pointed out, "Hey, look at that cute little dog."
And they were to reply, "It's not a dog, thats a cat,"
Even though you knew it was a dog, in every respect, down to your very soul, how would you look at this person from then on, and continue to involve yourself with this person?
Is it tolerance that allows this?
But isn't tolerance just a freindly way of saying" Well, this person is obvioulsy crazy but I will just let them think they are O.K., no sense starting a fight." in a sort of cute puppy dog way.All the time knowing that you are right.
That is, if each of these people truly beleived in their religion, then they would obviously come to the conclusion that the other cannot be truly rightous, or of their right mind.
How can you be freinds with some one who is obviously delusional while still considering them your equal?
Is it perhaps to slowly convince the other through shallow laughter, all the while waiting for a break in their confidence to allow their false god to come through. Each one subtly proving through all of their actions that they are on the path of rightousness.
I find this extremely confusing from a religious stand point.
Is there an awnser to this?
Can two religions truly respect each other and consider the other an eqaul?
