    sorry, i don't buy that. it's insulting b/c it's meant to insult. to be tolerant one must accept that others have beliefs outside their own, and be RESPECTFUL of their right to have said beliefs, etc. to talk down to it, call thier beliefs ignorant, etc.....it's insulting. who's to say who, if any, are right? that's not the point in this...it's simply approaching ALL beliefs with respect, and by saying they should simply combine belief systems does not respect that. i was avioding such b/c i knew you meant it all in humor...but as i said, to someone truly devout, not too humorous. sure, your right to say what you think...but yea...still doesn't make it respectful. sure too, you can tell me go feck respect...again your right....and i was merely sharing my thoughts. :)

    I actually think it is ignorant, too, in terms that in order to be intolerant, people are ignoring the experience of others--hence ignorance. True tolerance is about acceptance--like you said.

    The super-ego is about the pettiness in humans imagining God, and coming up with an ugly flawed God, created in our image. The superconscious, or the super-religion sense of spirituality would answer to human spirituality which is universal. It's the petty ego that distorts our true nature. Our ego has been molded from our real nature, by our environment, and the pettiness we've learned. Because we've done that cannot take from the fact that we are so much more, and at heart, we are truly universal.

    It's only insulting because people are ignorant.. tolorance and respect is key to our survival... of course, I guess "combining the religions" isn't exactly respectful to each, but I'm sure neither know the truth of things. I know I don't... sometimes the best solution is swallow our pride. Pride can feel good, but it can pit us against one another.

    I believe people will evolve and uncover a sense of their true spirituality by experience. At such a level spirituality is universal, and tolerance of each other becomes the only choice. People may observe different rituals in celebrating their spirituality, but when humans come in touch with their Higher Self the option of living in a petty, prideful way becomes no longer valid. The whole thing about higher spirituality is that it is beyond pride. In order to get to such levels, we need to resolve and let go of our lower human issues that encumber us.

    The book, not the summary. It relates to the point at hand and is quite entertaining as well.

    Can't they just combine the two religions and make a super religion?

    No?

    Okay.

    Keep killing in the name of "I don't like you because you're different and you don't like me either"...


    :cool:


    This conflict isn't about religion, it's about one country engaging in an illegal military occupation of the others land, and subjecting it's people to daily acts of humiliation and terrorism, on a scale which makes Apartheid South Africa look like a playground.
