I do believe in religious freedom. Everyone should have the right to serve or not serve God in any way they chose. (right or wrong)
God, himself endowed us with that same privilege.
Where would that leave me, if there was no such freedom, and the chosen religion was not mine?
I don't think I offend God by believing this way. To tolerate someone else worshiping another god is totally different than me worshiping that god.

I don't think that would be offending your (or somebody else's) God by being open-minded. There is a difference in accepting a God, worshiping a God and being open-minded. Open-mindedness and acceptance are really the same thing, and Christianity says, "put no other Gods before me." That specifically refers to your worship and obedience to the religion that you hold. If religions didn't allow you to be open-minded to other cultures, we would all be uneducated. Because, even some of the greatest pastors in the world had to take a religions class to get a better understanding of the Gods of all the religions, and yet, were they worshiping these Gods? No, rather, they were simply educating themselves, and accepting that there are other faiths out there and being open-minded about the the beliefs of others, after all, we are all different!

No, i don't think of that should take place in any respect. What your touching on is like some ingredient resembling the Crusades and what a terrible theory. it is people for ya nevertheless. some circumstances, we don't get alongside too nicely, and then wager what? issues bypass incorrect, particularly particularly incorrect. : ( Then comes the struggling with, the wars, the killings, the tears, etc. i for my section think of that lost souls will exist and do exist in spite of religion! that is not approximately faith! a minimum of for me that is not. jointly as believing in a particular faith is particularly suited, that's not the main severe ingredient for me. i'm a Roman Catholic who substitute into born and raised, and that i recognize another faith and faith. The Gods are consistently so incredible to me, and that they arrive and bypass to me with the aid of objectives and visions. particularly, the Hindu Gods, the Greek Gods, the Egyptian Gods, and likewise the Roman Gods. So, i've got not got a topic with the different faith. I genuinely have never seen any visions or objectives of say Yayweh or Jehovah nevertheless. i think of this theory is ignorant and what you're suggesting is kinda evil and kinda like leaning in the direction of some ingredient that no person desires to think of of particularly. And no, i don't agree that a non-Christian is a lost soul. regrettably, there are various Christians available deemed to alter right into a lost soul. it particularly is how I see it, and it particularly is my very own attitude. merely an opinion or an theory. A lost soul is a few one that is lost, puzzled, and erroneous. that's not religious or non secular, that merely capacity that they're a lost soul. Like, as an occasion, i think of that that is possible for an atheist to alter right into a lost soul. Atheists, i don't mean you any harm or any ingredient adverse. i'm merely saying. and likewise a Christian, or maybe a Scientist, any individual!!!!! Is able to changing right into a lost soul!!!

I don't tolerate other gods. I tolerate others having the right to choose what they want to believe. I don't believe in these other gods and if I do believe they exist I call them devils.

Honestly, most Gods don't have huge problems with the gods of others... It's just the Abrahamic ones that latched onto the idea that God thought everybody else was evil.
