This should blow your minds

All religions will put on a public face of tolerance, love and understanding as they have to in order to win public support and increase their flock, but when it gets right down to it, not only are they not tolerant of other religions views, many of them are not even tolerant of sub sects within their own religon.

I.E - Suni muslims vs. Shiites
Catholic vs. Protestant in N. Ireland

I'm sure I could find 100's of examples if I researched it.

Again, as I said earlier, only buddhism appears to be truly tolerant of not only others views but respect for life in general. I said appears because I only have superficial knowledge of them, and maybe if I researched a little I could dig up some dirt on them as well?

Anyways, I seem to be getting drawn into a debate that I said I wished EO would not allow, so at this point I will exit the conversation and wish everyone the best of luck and a happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Roadeyes..Happy Turkeyday to you too....

It hasn't been posted here before because nobody has been stupid enough to post it!

I guess you get to have that dubious distinction!

Why do you care? Your god will protect you won't it???

And for anybody who cares, more blood has been spilt by christians from their various causes and crusades throughout the course of history than any other religion ever.

Oh, but that's ok because their cause is just, right???

Not to mention the grave injustices done to the native Americans and Canadians in modern history by those christian groups who tried to impose their will and ways on the so called "heathens". All in the name of "saving their souls"!

More wrongs have been committed in the name of religion of all stripes (with the exception of maybe buddhism, and no, I'm not a buddhist) than any other reason.

I know this is the soapbox forum and no, if I don't like it I don't have to read it, but I really wish EO would make religious discussions a no-no on here.

Politics is bad enough!

You feel better now that you got that off your chest? I know you do not frequent the Soapbox, so I will forgive you for thinking that I pesronally take anything in that e-mail seriously. I guess I should've turned my sarcasm button on when I said, "we are all screwed, I tell ya". I guess you could say I posted that e-mail for our resident apocalyptic, Govt fearing, Muslim fearmongers here in the Soapbox. Call it......a public service on my part. Now they can copy and paste it to share with the whole world. Actually, I thought I might get a thank you from some of you here for posting it. Ungrateful bunch you are.

Just for the record, I am in agreement with most of what you posted, especially below.

You are correct in that statement. Also that is another reason why I posted it. If you are confident in Christianity, who cares what Muslims, extremist or moderate try and do. That goes for our Nation also. If you have faith in this great land of ours and the Constitution, then you have nothing to fear.
