I do too.
Here's why......
A society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.
If you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.
The source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.
Unfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others
to forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.
The key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:
The spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.

If everyone remembered one simple rule, then we would have far less religious conflict in the world:
People deserve respect, ideas and beliefs do not.
With that in mind, no-one would think it was right to abuse / persecute / murder someone simply for being a different religion, and no-one would be mortally offended by someone else rubbishing their beliefs. That's the kind of religious tolerance which would make a big improvement in the world.

The religious tolerance is wished by all, but practiced by only one tauhidi religion. You know it. More than this, the tolerance is very assiduously practiced by a small religion so thay are not recognised. They are the Parsi who have never offended any other religion for a 1000 years now. Others can learn a lot and make them an example.

I have been told to my face by muslims that they will kill all who do not submit to islam when islam takes over the world. There is plenty of evidence that this is being taught in muslim cult centers around the world... is this "tolerance"... some muslims actrualy try to say that they will "alow" others to practice their faith when islam is in controle. This is not the case and the world will find out the hard way if, IMO(in my opinion), the evil that is islam is not stopped now. IMO, islam is the greatest evil facing the world today. IMO, it must be resisted by any means necessay and eradicated. IMO, it is my beleif that The One True God, The Creator of ALL, will eradicate the evil of islam in the end.

Oh yes, definitely! I wholeheartedly agree.
Religious tolerance definitely does not mean we have to agree with one another or even believe as others do. All tolerance means is that we all have to accept that we're all different and are apt to disagree and deal with it peacefully instead of fighting over our differences.
You're right. Life is definitely much too short to be fighting when there are better things to do with one's time. Better to get along, work together, and leave this world in better shape than we found it. :)

Tolerance, right. Although I am all for that, I have found that history is another thing. Roman Catholicism and Islam have shone this one thing in common. You must tolerate us, because you are stronger then we, But when we are stronger then you, We must persecute and kill you because it is our duty to not tolerate any decent from our beliefs. The USA is an anomaly in history.

Oh yes I would love religious tolerance.
Unfortunately there are people on here that argue that thier religion is the only right one... and it is sad that we cannot respect others beliefs better than condemning them....
I am all for religious tolerance.

Well I like the idea of religious tolerance.
But education and rationalization is the key to enlightenment. If I see good things happening from the religion you are following. I am tolerant.
But if your religion has harmful consequences to my near and dear ones, then I chose to understand the cause and educate the blind followers.

As a Humanist, I am a staunch supporter of freedom of religion. One's faith or moral philosophy is a personal choice, a matter of conscience, upbringing, and temperament. I would not want anyone else to decide what I should believe, so neither do I try to decide for others what they should believe. The ONLY thing to which I object is someone trying to legislate their beliefs and force others to recognize their faith as superior to all others. That is wrong.

...First, let me say that I have many friends, Christian and non-Christian. I do not grab lapels and force people to listen to me...having said that, let me say this...
...What you say sounds cushy and may give some the warm fuzzies, but tell me, if your house was on fire and you inside, shouldn't we do our utmost to keep you from perishing?
...Jesus of Nazareth, was a real, historical figure, witnessed by the Bible, secular historians of His day, and millions of followers down through the centuries, and He made some very unique claims about Himself, i.e., that He was God, and that He is the only way to God (John 14:6, Jesus said to them, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through Me.")
...And if Jesus of Nazareth is who He claimed to be (God) and calls us to repent and believe on Him, and proclaims that He is the only way, shouldn't we (1) personally trust in Him and (2) shouldn't we be telling people? What other right response can their be? If what He says is true, mankind is in deep trouble, and He is their only hope and way out; therefore, it is imperative that people believe on Christ.
...You are free to follow any kind of a Gospel you choose and so am I, but I urge you to believe the true Gospel by which we are saved - it is the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
...It is the privilege of every true Christian to spread the true Gospel to everyone who hasn't trusted in Christ.
