Why are many Christians so intolerant of other religions and spiritual paths?

You mean like those guys that blew up the W.T.C. and the Pentagon?


They were Muslims, too. And I'm assuming it was Muslims who have just vandalised the 7/7 memorial in London on the 9th anniversary.

What would your old friend the Buddhist monk say......?
Buddhists believe all teachings and religions that promote love and compassion come from the same source.
That source is a discussion in and of itself.

It involves the Mahayana concept of The Buddha Turning the Dharma Wheel and all these teachings and religions appear through out the universe. It doesn't actually matter if one is centered on God the Creator or centered on there is no God Creator.
The effect of producing love and compassion in the sentient being is the goal. and both beliefs are produced by the turning of The Dharma Wheel. It's hard to fathom that complete opposite views can both be from the same Teacher.

What we believe in doesn't really matter, what we think, do , and say in this life is what really matters.

Intolerance is a virtue which builds character. Of course you must be discriminating in it's application.
Why are neutral words so often loaded with unmeaning in the western pseudo world?

Most people live in virtual reality and are not even aware that they are. All the great teachers came to try to wake us up from that dream - the nightmare of fear and control. People are waking up and soon virtual reality will dissolve and disappear. Time to wake up folks.

Exibit A---------Crap is the life giving substance that provides for the healthy maturation of the very roots and berries that sustain your adequate self. If it were not so we would be denied your company.
so basically you justify this dark nihilistic crap you produce here, with more inane views on the people you are desperately trying to impress with this Teen Age Angst.

this has all been done a gazzilion times before and your mediocre at it.
