Every religion feels their religious text is the most holy of them all. The Talmud, the Quoran, the Bible-- all of these books are 'holy scripture' to their followers. But to people of other faiths, these books just contain 'stories' or 'fables.'
Is it possible for someone to have a religious discussion without quoting from their religious text?
Do most well-educated religious individuals, regardless of religion, understand that to someone else, their faith is nothing more than 'stories?'
Are most religious individuals able to seperate faith from perception? (ie: my view of your faith is different from your view?)
What is it that, at the end of the day, makes one religious text more holy than another? Perception? Faith? Interpretation? Age?
What are your thoughts?
(Only well thought out answers, please. No scripture quoting.)
