    Incredulity in the supernatural.

    No. We can always turn to our common humanity. Just respecting each others beliefs might help peace a lot. My understanding is that there was only ever one ever evolving religion. For example Hinduism was meant to evolve into Buddhism then Christianity into Islam and so on. But due to the...

    It depends upon which Christian group. Many Christian groups believe in God but not that Jesus is God and Muslims believe in God too. Some religions don’t call the unknown as God but the Ultimate Reality or other terms. It’s semantics but if we really want to get along we can surmount these...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Well no one should be compelled to worship the way another religion worships. But in interfaith all these faiths do come together and pray. They probably have a common verbal prayer which each say from their respective religion but say their diverse special forms of prayer in their own communities.

    At first when I became a Baha’i it was all Bahai. Then, because we are taught The oneness of religion I began studying the Quran and Bible and Bhagavad-Gita and found it all so liberating. And that expanded my horizons so much more. In my area I go to mass sometimes and now the priest is our...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The main thing here is that after centuries of conflict and wars between religions it’s time for reconciliation and peace. There are many paths we can take to achieve that end. Mixing with each other, visiting each others place of worship. The age of heresy and prejudice needs to come to an end...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Not necessarily completely accurate as each of these religions prophecies the return of its own Prophet so there is a ‘link’ connecting the religions to one another making them all part of one unfolding process. We believe that Baha’u’llah was prophesied by all these Faiths so in reality He is...

    Unity in diversity is the foundation of my belief. We can still have common ground and celebrate our diversity.

    I’m speaking about the virtues not the social laws or theological arguments.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Virtues are things like love, respect, courtesy, compassion, caring, charity, empathy, detachment, moderation, wisdom, forgiveness, friendliness, gentleness, kindness and so on. KrIshna and Buddha and Christ all taught about love. There’s no real conflict. The essence of all religions is...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I’m mainly speaking about the spiritual virtues each religion teaches. Even the other religions you mentioned teach these virtues. Diversity has its place but not when it leads to confrontation. So middle ground, a common ground which all religions teach is the virtues. Also associating with...

    Maybe if you feel unhappy with my posts then maybe it’s best if you just put an ‘ignore’ on my profile. That way you won’t even see my posts.

    I’m saying I have no problem accepting the spiritual teachings of Buddha. The Dhammapada and things like the Noble Eightfold Path, the Five Precepts are so insightful. These teachings are for all humanity and we can all benefit from them.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    True but if Buddha teaches to defeat hate with love and Christ teaches to love one another Who am I going to disagree with? Go through all the scriptures and you will find similar like in the Quran it says to return good for evil. Zoroaster says ‘good thoughts, good words, good deeds’...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I don’t believe so. Many people who are tired of antagonism between religions towards welcome very much this tolerance towards other religions. Because of the Baha’i teachings I believe in Buddha and regularly read the Dhammapada. I find it is spiritually liberating to accept Buddha. Why should...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The Baha’i temples do have the symbols of all the major religions in their architecture. Including Hinduism. We accept all the religions as true just not the manmade dogmas. Here I’m speaking about relationships between religions not atheists. It’s not about fun for me when our world is...

    The spiritual teachings are all very similar and something we can accept without having to join any religion.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The spiritual teachings such as the virtues are common to all religions and they are the things which we have in common.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    No. What I’m saying are the spiritual things like virtues which we can all accept. There’s no need to join any other religion at all.

    It’s about focusing on what we have in common.

    Great response. I think accepting our diversity and each other unconditionally is what is most needed now.
