If a person tells me my religion is WRONG
Advertisements [?]
I will NOT respect that person's beliefs. My religion preaches many paths to knowing God. When a person, of any faith, tells me that I'm wrong in my beliefs, I do not feel any obligation to respect their faith as that person chooses to practice it. For example, I have a deep love for the writings contained in the Beatitudes, though I am not Christian. But if a self-proclaimed Christian tells me that I'm going to hell because I don't ascribe to a specific dogma, well that person's opinion no longer matters to me. And their "faith", in my opinion is nothing more than cultish behavior.
