I believe that the one true religion will embrace the spirit of freedom of religion and freedom to choose, confident that it will win out. Those of a false religion will tend to erect laws forbidding the free exchange of literature and freedom to practice it- thus indicating their falsity. Now look at the countries of particular concern and decide for yourself which religion(s) is subconsciously proclaiming itself false while claiming that it's true and will take over the world.)(

Thanks to Savagewind for the very first decent and courteous reply I've received since joining this website and forum! It pains me to say that those having found joy and peace in their faith are far more likely to be civil than those who have not. They are at the very least ladies and gentlemen.
My religion embraces the freedom of religion, yet I don't consider it the one true relgion. How do you explain this apparent contradiction?
(We explain it by noting that different religions work for different people.)
The poster said nothing about "the one true religion" except that a false religion will claim it is true. It will even claim it is the only (one) true religion.

OKI believe in "one true religion". It is called Love.

Now that is a position impossible to assail. :namaste

There is no contradiction here. Embracing freedom of religion is no guarantee of correctness. That in your religion there is no claim of singular truth is a common concept in religion, as in the latest divine revelation improving upon a previous one. At the same time, everyone can't be right. Right?

Pasta be upon you.

Definitely not. I've misinterpreted all sorts of things before. I've even leveled accusations at people based on these misinterpretations. And then, when it is demonstrated that I have been off-base... I acknowledge it. Publicly. So, all you need to do now is show that I'm off-base. Good luck with that.
Keep this up, eh? I'll do what I can...
Well, I'll own condescension. Its a natural response to anyone who feels they are superior to me. I like to demonstrate how untrue that is. Being that I consider everything I know nothing but a belief and everything I believe to be tentative at best, that pretty much eliminates pretense. Of course, no one is perfect.
My remarks were rhetoric designed to expose the fundamental flaw in your statements. The fact that you are now commenting about me directly instead of rebutting my comments punctuates them perfectly. You are much better at ruining your arguments than I am. That's why I do it that way. I ask you a question you can't answer. And then you don't answer it. Success!
PS: I don't care about you. I don't love you. That's too bad, isn't it?
Swing and a miss.

Man, that is so cold.
Sir Doom fed my children when they were alone and afraid.
He gently removes spiders from the toilet bowl before he flushes.
The local soup kitchen had not even heard of minestrone until he offered his recipe.
When Sir Doom weeps, droughts break and meerkats gambol amongst the resplendent desert flowers !
Apply the salve of his compassion to your undulent rhetoric, for lo ! if you look into the mirror you will see that your faith ith a meth ! It keeps you up at night imploring emptiness to fill you ! It makes you imagine that insulting Sir Doom serves the Prince of Peace !
Fie ! Fo ! Fum ! Sir Doom is the Kick in the Big Bass Drum !
Repent !
Who will save the widow's son ?
Spoken on behalf of Sir Doom with no cash incentive.
