This is an honest question. So as not to be deceptive, I will also state that I am an atheist and that I do not currently believe that the world's religions can get along, based on their disparate ideologies. But I would very much like to know if you think such a thing is (or is not) possible. Thanks! :)

Do I think that all the world's religions can become prefectly tolerant of each other and worship together in perfect harmony? No.

Do I think that all the world's religions can become tolerant enough that they no longer try and kill each other? Probably.

Of course, all the world's religions are pretty tolerant of each other already. They generally don't get in each other's business, and most of the trouble is caused by self-described fundamentalists and extremists. It's not reasonable to just lump them all together.

in all the teachings of all the different religions of the world ,i am sure that every single one of them says to be friends with all the other religions and accept them as they are and live in peace

i believe that such thinking is very much possible

the problem is that certain parties/people/countries are making certain some of these religion look differently and make them as bad people.we forget that a lot of things that happens in this world and life has to be seen at different angles.everyone should be heard before they are found guilty of something

i have food poisoning from tainted water.it is always easier to blame the person who gives me the water...or should we blame it on other factors?

a lot of times we see the religion of the person first rather than the person who does it.that is wrong in life or any religion...

I don't believe that they will . Christianity allows for others to reject it.The wheat and the tares grow up together. It is a matter of your own will to accept or reject it but islam on the other hand says that if the infedel doesn't convert then you can kill him. Kill the infedel wherever you find him. Anyone who isn't a muslum is considered an infedel. They want the whole earth under islamic law.How can you get along under those conditions? I don't see how that would be possible.

It has to be emphasized that religion is not the root cause of this state of affairs. The factional fights and fanatic hatred are due to the unruly ego that is given free play. Religion strives to destroy just this vicious tendency. So it has to be supported, not condemned. What has to be condemned is the narrow, perverted attitude of hating those who do not agree with you or who hold different opinions of the mysterious force that animates the universe. Religious wars and conflicts breed in the slime of ignorance and avarice. When people are blind to the truth that the human family is one indivisible Unity, they grope in the dark and are afraid of strange touch. The cultivation of love, alone, can convince man of this truth that there is only one caste - the caste of Humanity, and only one religion - the religion of Love. Since no religion upholds violence or despises love, it is wrong to ascribe the chaos to religion.

Every so often, society seems to think that it's in a "last days." I think that many of these time periods have happened. In this circumstance, the health of a Christian is supposed to be able to withstand the pressures. Christians are not supposed to let their hearts get weighed down with heavy drinking, dissipations, anxieties etc. God provides if we put his kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). Matthew 6:13 says: "but whoever stands firm to the end will be saved."

My point is that Christians are not supposed to "prove" their point. Their salvation comes from God. They are supposed to destroy arguments and pretensions. (2 Corinthians 10:5) Christians are not supposed to return insult for insult. If they suffer, it is supposed to be for having done good. There is no merit in suffering for having done evil.

Religions will never get along until they decide to show mutual respect for each other. When they can agree to disagree and celebrate their differences there may be hope for us all. Until then religions will speak to us with guns and bombs and huge chunks of scripture. If everybody is right , well then no one can be wrong it seems to me.

They could, but why would they. Christ clearly said that there would be many religions who only speak in his name, but otherwise does not share in his light.

As for relating to the non-christian religions, with them being broken up into just as many sects, especially Islam, it is not a likely thing to take place.

I think this quote says a whole bunch for you...

“All three of our major religions -- Christianity, Islam and Judaism -- have a hateful idea at the very core. That idea is Exclusion: the "othering," if you like, of the unredeemed.” -- Matthew Parris

yes, of-course, no doubt at all, because, in past history
we have witnessed many changes in religious,
and it`s a ever changing process,
so one can not imagine or sure, that
they are never going to make along,

believe you me, all will alline along,
it`s question to time
