Tolerance is very much admired today and indeed it is a virtue, one may say. Since there are different religious systems in the world and it is important that we all live together peacefully everybody admires tolerance. But religious tolerance is also very much misunderstood today. Some suggest that anyone who insists that their religion is the right one, and others' are wrong are not tolerant....

Do you have Indian church there in Canada? I guess there may be Chinese church! Some Indian ethnic groups will start their ethnic church wherever they migrate; they hardly marry others and marrying others are like traitors. They are well educated; they speak English; it's just that they don't want to mix with others. It's sad but that is widespread here in India.

Thanks for the comment. I largely agree with your comment. I am, however, little puzzled by one of your lines. You said, " The greatest test of tolerance is developing the humility that our/my religion is just one path and not the best or the greatest religion". If my/our religion is valid a path as others or if my/or religion is as correct as others what do I have to be tolerant about? I think...

I am not sure if I understood you correctly. Did you mean to say that religious truth cannot be established by using principles of logic? I have admiration for both Buddhism and Jainism. Jainism, however, is little too small in number to make tangible impact, either negatively or positively, in society and it's difficult to judge them through experience. Buddhism, however, has sizable numbe...

Your post in quite interesting. I think there is a fairly good way to argue to decide that certain religion is better than others. Since logic is very much fundamental to human life and society, I think logical coherence is one parameter to examine whether a religion is right or not. If a religion says that it has nothing to do with logic, I think, then such a religion is not relevant to hu...

"We need to have tolerance for those religions which are different from our own." I quite agree with this line. But how to we define 'tolerance' here? Is it saying 'yours is different from mine, but both of us are equally right' or 'yours is different from mine but I still respect you though I can't agree with yours'. My point is this: Suppose a Hindu says that she is tolerant in the former k...

I respect your belief. But how would you defend that Islam is the truth?

Thanks for the cordial response. You have been kind in your response even when you disagree with me. And I reapply respect that. You cited "If God is omnipotent, why is the world in such a mess?" as an example which may lead to absurdities if we assume logic to be an essential element in discussing religion. I think the answer given to that may not be convincing, but I don't think we need t...

Good thought! I think the point you are raising is extremely important. What I would suggest is that in spite of differences that we have we should discuss and try to sort things out within this larger framework that we are all human being. And therefore we are to respect each other.
