Do you accept other religions?

[Shadow]

I accept the beliefs of everyone, and I realize that I have no right to tell anyone that they're wrong. After all, a belief doesn't need to be shared by anyone else for it to be a belief. Beliefs are personal, not universal. Naturally, I'm going to think that my beliefs are correct. But if I didn't, what would be the point in believing it?

^ This. It pretty much sums up anything I would have said.

Don't know if this is the right forum, but I didnt find a more suiting :-)

Its a simple question really: Do you accept other religions/faiths, and might consider that they are right?

I personally accept all religions (except the ones clearly made for making money) and I know that one of them might be right. But I have found my path, and I will stick with it even if its wrong

I am going to paraphrase this as I don't remember the exact quote.

My path is not your path, my path is right for me, your path is right for you. Not all paths are the same, but all are right to the one walking them.

I mean, that's almost from the Qur'an--I'm going to paraphrase a little because it's hard to find good translations online and my books aren't in front of me, but:

"Say, to those who reject the faith: I do not worship what you worship. You do not worship what I worship. I will not worship what you worship, and neither will you worship what I worship. There is a (path/religion/reckoning/Way) for you, and a (path/religion/reckoning/Way) for me." This is Sura al-Kafirun.

As for me, do I accept all religions? I mean, I accept that they exist. They're there. As to whether or not they're "right," right about what? About ethical behavior? I have my agreements and disagreements. About the nature of the afterlife? Couldn't say. About their deities being real? I don't see why not, there's no call in my religion to think other people's deities aren't there. I mean, it's not an all-or-nothing thing. I am a big fan of a whole lot of historical Islamic thought. Is Islam "right"? Whose Islam? On what subject? According to whom? I am very fond of a number of Christian theologians. None of them really agree on what Christianity is. Is who right? There are theological positions common in parts of the Pagan community I find deeply foreign, and ethical positions I sometimes find abhorrent. Does that make Paganism, such as it is, "wrong"? Of course not.

I guess I'm saying I'm too big a nerd to know how to answer the question.

I accept that all religions exist, and I believe that God(s)/Goddess(es) reach us all in different ways. Lets face it religous enlightenment is not a one size fits all item. I really don't consider whether they are right or wrong. Right now I know what was wrong for me, but that might be right for someone else.

As others have said, I don't mind other religions as long as they do not seek/wish harm to others or myself. I also don't like when people preach to me hoping that they can "save" me. I try to let them know that I am very happy they have found contentment but I will have to find my own way in my own time.

To put it simply: what she said.

I heard mine from an old Cree Medican Woman. It amazes me how similar things are yet so diffrent.

I try to think every one of them could have something to teach me, or at least, give me another perspective. Or they can show me an example of what not to do.

As for my faith, it's what I believe is perfect for me. I try to be tolerant and am willing to listen to what others have to say since their path is as important to them as mine is to me. Where I start getting angry is when another faith is being forced on someone else or another's faith is causing harm; that's when I get PISSED!

Simple answer: I accept that there are other faiths and religions in this world, however I do not see them as more "right" than my own. Just that they do exist in the world and accept them as such.

[EJay]

Provided they aren't out to harm me or others, I tolerate all religions and respect the right of others to believe as they wish. I believe that all religions are "right" in that they are "right" for those who choose to follow them. However, I draw the line at any religion imposing or attempting to impose its beliefs, practices or religious morality on others.

That's the word I'm looking for. Tolerate, with exceptions.

I tend to view religions other than mine like this: Their god is real to them, even if it's not real to me. So I respect that religion even if it's not mine.
