Good Friday Morning!

1. Question – Can all religions be true?

2. Thought – Conservative Christians believe that those who haven’t accepted Christ as their Savior have chosen hell as their ultimate destination. It’s often overlooked, but many Muslims believe the same about non-Muslims – they’re headed for hell as well. And Hindus generally believe that everyone, regardless of beliefs, is caught in an indefinite cycle of reincarnation based on works. These contradictory beliefs can’t all be true.

In other words, some religious beliefs must be wrong. But you’re not supposed to say that in America today. You’re supposed to be “tolerant” of all religious beliefs. And in our culture today, tolerance no longer means putting up with something you believe to be false (after all, you don’t tolerate things you agree with). Tolerance now means that you’re supposed to accept every belief as true! In a religious context, this is known as religious pluralism – the belief that all religions are true.

It is Friday – October whizzing by. Don’t text and drive. Thanks for all the books. Keep reading. Have you ever considered: “Do I have to like the person I vote for?” Do your part in America. Enjoy!
