Tolerant or Respect

arunma said:

Judaism really has the same problem as Hinduism: it is tolerant until a Jew wishes to become a Christian. Jewishness is said to be a national identity, but it would appear that becoming a Christian is the one thing that a Jew can do to cease being a Jew. Many Jews I've met consider it blasphemous to even say or write the name of Jesus, instead using "J," "J-man," or the most virulent, "You Know Who." I'm not saying that any religious group is under any obligation to be tolerant. But is this what you would call a tolerant religion?

Well, is not contempt towards apostasy something of a universal vice? Contempt towards apostasy doesn't only include hating the apostate, but also belittling the former faithfulness of the apostate. I've seen members of pretty much every religion in existence "explain away" apostasy by claiming that the apostate never really belonged to their religion, or knew it poorly.

What do you think tolerance means, exactly? Because in the same breath you seem to be complaining that other religions aren't being tolerant...in a most judgmental and intolerant fashion.

Religions and beliefs aren't tolerant or intolerant. People are.

I'm sorry that I didn't provide enough information in my last post. By no means am I complaining that other religions are intolerant, for indeed I am intolerant by my own admission. My complaint is that the two religions I mentioned falsely claim to be tolerant. My objection isn't to the intolerance, but to the denial thereof.

He just has a grudge against Hinduism. He's trying to justify his conversion by hating Hinduism, rather than loving Jesus. He's an ex-hindu btw... Most of his posts depict hate of Hinduism, rather than focusing on Christ, which his doctrine tells him to.

God's Book; the Holy Quran says:-

60: [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]8. Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity. [/FONT]

Thw Quran also says to kill the infidel where you see them, and not to make friends with non muslims.
