The ideal would be, "here is what i believe, belief in x, y, z will allow the soul to go to heaven. while i respect your belief that everyone dies and goes to heaven, my belief is that not everyone gets into heaven, based on this bible verse, and i totally respect your choice to say no to talking to me and to intellectually reject what i belief, however, in my belief people who don't believe what i do, go to a bad place. your version is possibly the correct one, but here is why i believe mine"

I've rarely seen two religions, like Islam and Christianity or even Christianity and Judaism, work together for a greater good. Hell, even Catholics and Protestants seem to have a hard time together.
I believe it's possible to be tolerant while believing that the person you are working with is extremely misguided, but not very likely. Even Republicans and Democrats have this problem.

It is possible but not likely. It is human nature to stick to their veiws as being right or correct. If they say they tolerate another religion, that may be the truth, however, many will judge other religions as false. In reality it is more like they will tolerate you in front of your face but the will condemn you to hell for not having found the truth as they see it. Me, I'm just a Christian walking my own walk with GOD. I do no have time to worry about if anyone else is going to burn in hell or not. I do not claim to be omniscient so I just have to trust my own faith and hope that my friends and family who are not of the same beliefs will find their own way to be at peace with GOD. I suppose there are several roads to the final destination. It matters not which one you travel to get there, as long as you reach the final destination.

yes it is very possable to be tollerable of other religion and still hold onto your own beleifs. But if you look at the word "hell" you will find in its original untranslated Hebrew form the untranslated word is "sheohl and its greek equivvalnt"haides, which refer,not to an indiviual burial place,but to the common grave of dead manknd; also theGreek GEENNA, which is used as a symbol of eternal destructio. However, both Christomdom andin many non- Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death are punished(and some believe that this is with torment). The bible command us to love one another as we love ourselves ,and tells us not to profess a love of God if we cannot love our neighbors first.

Wow... what a catch 22 question.... you can be tolerant for the time being but happy with the thought they will suffer for eternity!!!!
Note the irony in the last part... happy they will suffer.... not for a little while... for eternity...

No to be tolerant is to reserve your final judgment on the destination of those who don't believe as you do.

Yes, I think it is. Regardless of what people believe, I try to treat them with respect. They made their own choices, I made mine. I am not the judge of who will burn in Hell, and who won't.

It is possible to claim this, as many jews, christians and muslims do when forced to think about their own religions. But it is utter hypocrisy.

Sure, I think tolerance has a lot more to do with treating people with kindness and respect, than embracing their principles.
