[QUOTE="AlexBP, post: 58977182, member: 261211"] I treat any person with any religious viewpoint as a member of the human race and an individual. As a member of the human race, they should all be treated with love. As an individual, there beliefs should be taken serious, including their religious beliefs. In other words, I do not believe that the differences between religions can be made meaningless if we all paste "Coexist" stickers on our bumpers and make other such empty statements of universalism. Different religions have different viewpoints which play out in different results for individuals and societies. My viewpoint is best summarized by this quote from G. K. Chesterton: [INDENT][COLOR=Blue]Our real error in such a case is that we do not know or care about the creed itself, from which a peoples customs, good or bad, will necessarily flow. We talk much about respecting this or that persons religion; but the way to respect a religion is to treat it as a religion: to ask what are its tenets and what are their consequences. But modern tolerance is deafer than intolerance. The old religious authorities, at least, defined a heresy before they condemned it, and read a book before they burned it. But we are always saying to a Mormon or a MoslemNever mind about your religion, come to my arms. To which he naturally repliesBut I do mind about my religion, and I advise you to mind your eye.
