Basically, it's about everyone being free to believe whatever they want to believe, and that, in my opinion, is as it should be. The moral relativism comes in when believers in one religion, like Christianity, behave as though all other religions are beyond reproach. In other words, whatever you choose to believe, within the framework of religion, is fine. Religion is religion, it's all relative, so have respect for all religions even if it's contrary to your religion.

There is a big difference between the Divine mandate that we love (i.e. care about) all others and the modern half baked "feeling" that each religion is as good as the next. To a believer, and indeed anyone who slows down and considers the facts that is simply not true.

Yes, we agree! Not all religions are equal, or "as good as the next."

I note that there is no reply to the statement of Jesus. So be it. I can't persuade anyone, but I can and will pray for you.

Sorry, I don't remember what that statement was. I'll go back and read it.
