why do you tolerate these other religions should you not go to war against the others?

Do you want to look at your T.V. for a while, try a news channel, you'll find thousands of people are going to war under a religion, it's called Islam.

No. The only true religion in God´s eyes is to "help widows and orphans in their distress" and to "not become defiled by this world".
Jesus said: I AM the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6).
Follow Him, not a religion and you'll get to the Father.

No, not all others condemn you to hell. Modern Paganism doesn't. I have no reason to go to war against other religions. That's like wanting to beat up a kid because I don't like the idea that he plays with a Superman doll while I like Batman better.

Julia,
Christ did not preach WAR but Peace. HE said to love our neighbors and our enemies alike. Why would you preach war when we are told to go out and teach converting others? This would never be possible in such a condition. I suggest that you read, study, and obey GOD's WORD. HE is our light in times of darkness. If you need assistance, let me know and I will help. Have a great evening.
Thanks,
Eds

Many wars are over "religion". God gives us free choice. I won't tell someone they are going to Hell, as that is something that God knows. I do spiritual battle (war). My job is to make clear the faith and teach about Jesus... I can't force someone to believe.
You are right, not all religions can be true.

Nearly all religions worship the same God but give it different labels. They mostly say the same things esoterically and only differ in their exoteric manifestations. Most religions think theirs is the only true path, nearly all spiritual paths lead to God.

It's real simple, because religion teaches toleration of others. Love your enemies, your neighbors, and one another. Very simple.

No more wars for religion. Let all people believe in what or whom they wish and lets all live in peace. No religion condones war so let us live in peace. I personally am Christian but I do not want to kill anyone that is not Christian

It is not a matter of right or wrong. When Jesus was asked about this His answer was that in His Father's house there are many room. If they are not against us, they are for us. There is room for all.

Julia,
we are of LOVE,
Mk 12:30'31 We love GOD and all the children
on earth as WE would ourselves, therefore we pray
for those who prey on us.
Enough for violents you can't blow a man up, hang him
or cut his throat to make him believe in LOVE
