A question for everyone.
Post #1If you were standing among those of another church and gazed at they're idol, is your God great enough to exist inside of it and all of it's followers? If your answer is yes, then why can you not accept them, share with them, and respect them as if they were of your own church?

This forum has rules...I suggest you read rule 10.

Since my own God does not exist, it certainly is not big enough to exist even inside the smallest idol.
Do you wish to perpetuate the myth that underneath, all religions really worship the same God, the differences are only superficial?
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Just a question, is that or isn't that one of the ideals of Hinduism? I may be wrong, slightly right, or dead wrong, my knowledge of Hinduism needs to improve, or even better actually be in existence.
But anyway, Christianity seems to assert that all other gods are not the same one being worshiped when you go to Christian church service, but even so, why does it matter? Why should another religion feel the need to be accepted by Christianity in order for self validation?
