Does that mean that we should not try to teach one another the truth? That is not what the Bible teaches.

no,
Religions are founding on principles and morals important to that culture at that time. The beauty of religion and the reason it has survived into modern times, is its ability to force itself and convince its believers that it is the only way. The beliefs are inheritedly good and at some point had a very good purpose. not eating pork evolved from the dangers of eating raw pork back in the day. To someoene not educated in biology and raising dirty swine, this is a very good principle.

Yes, definately. The best aspects of all religions are often similar.
However, humanity tends to judge based on differences and weaknesses, not similarities. Teachings humans to focus on similarites and strengths, as Jesus had done, is still the challenge.

Yes but untiul we remove the holy shroud, idiot believers will scoff at the idea of thinking at all.
that's why we have to demystify these religious techings and put them all on the same level like at http://flushaholybook.com

Yes defenitely, especially since all religions came from the same source and were corrupted by man.

Yes child, we should. This world would then be full of people who are tolerant. But then, this world is not perfect. There would be some who would be hypocrites.

I do think we should accept and appreciate the good in all things. As to the rest I cannot say. I live my faith and let others choose theirs.

No. Truth is truth, and there is only one truth.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me.

Without a doubt! If that were to happen, you would be accepting the best of what our civilization has to offer.

Depends on what the good aspects are. If they disagree with what the God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob...then no, we shouldn't.
