[L]istening to people with different beliefs are so vital for us to grow in what ever belief system we cherish. I am a Christian who stands firm in what I believe in, BUT I also want to be open and listen to what all have to say. It is not about the debate, it is not about having a forum for me to thump my beliefs on someone else, it is about truly caring for the other person and listening to what they hold on to and why. I think we all can gain better perspectives if we are willing to LISTEN before pushing to be HEARD. We all want to be heard so bad, so let's stop and listen to each other for a change.
[S]o why is it that most humans have problems with listening to people with other belief structures? Is it taught? Are these deficiencies learned? How can we as the human race be better at listening to each other whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic, Buddhist, etc…?
