I am of no set, specific "religion" and think of myself as being on a "spiritual" quest.....
I was brought up as a Christian but it wasn't forced on me or rammed down my throat! As an adult I have leaned far more towards Buddhism.
I have respect for all peoples religions and beliefs, as long as they are not fundamentalists or fanatical about it.
I don't understand why if you are "one" religion you then see no value in any of the "teachings" from ANY other religion?
And why do so many Christians want to preach and force THEIR beliefs about God on everyone else... Acting smug, like they are going to be allowed into "heaven" because they are believers, and its hell for the rest of us?
Why can't people live and let live?
Why can't people have tolerance?
Why can't people seem to co-exist and learn things from each other?
Any ideas on how to bridge this sort of gap? And unite people REGARDLESS of religion, ethnicity, faith, belief, status, age / disability etc?
