why does one person's religion believe they are better guided by god to go and convert others and "save" them? Do you think god did not consider them worthy enough to give his message in their very own hearts itself? Are you parading racism disguised as religion?

Until we recognize all life on our planet as equal - yes that means animals too - there will be no major advances in human rights. As long as one can look down on another creature, one can look down on another human being. Sounds hokey but it's the truth.

Religions are the outcome of a faiths and beliefs of a particular community or race created nurtured and shaped over many years. They are not a single person's or individuals' understanding or realisation.
It is not surprising as nations want to dominate over other nations exhibiting their superiority or particular races trumpeting their superior culture, religions also want to convert others in to theirs by any means possible. If a man really gets spiritual or enlightened he will see every one on the earth as the same irrespective of race, caste or creed. But such a person seldom reveals to others about himself. He lives as one among the poor or rich and does not upset the social order by propagating some thing radically different. The reason is that such enlightened persons respect every ones views and seldom contradict.

Jesus told us he is the only way to God, and told us to tell the world about it. It's a matter of obeying him. Racism? There are Christians of every race imaginable, so not sure what makes you say that...

I'm sure the Devil wants you to think that it doesn't matter what you believe or do. We'll see how that works out for you when you get to hell.

The spirit that dwells in all of us is the key.
