[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire post makes me want to be an atheist (though I am not).  Who cares whether I think I worship the same god as you do?  You care?  Because you have a special deal or relationship?  [b]I somehow dilute your religion by claiming that my god is the same as yours?[/b] Excuse me for saying - but that's just crap.  It's what I can't stand about how some people use religion to create division and strife.  It sucks and I wish people would stop.[/quote]

Yes, that is basically it.  Words are important.  If you say "We all worship the same God," that really makes all religions acceptable.  If my God is the same as your God, then we're both following the right path to heaven.  But if my religion says "the only way to heaven is through Christ," but I have decided your religion is an ok path to God, I have already disregarded a very big tenet of my religion.

Are we so mentally weak that we cannot even tolerate the idea of someone disagreeing with our concept of God?  This is not about claiming superiority.  This is not about being intolerant.  We don't need to pretend that our religions are the same thing to live like civilized people.[/quote]
