I thought about this recently when the Muslims turned on the Pope for making a comment about their religion, that they disagreed with. As much as the Pope might have come forward and said that he did not mean to offend, I think that for the most part the Catholic religion has shown itself to be one that would like to convert the world and destroy the nonbelievers and other religions. I think the Muslims have shown how they feel about the infidels. I think there is a lot to the idea that most of the core followers to major religions, would like to look in the Yellow Pages under religion and erase and eliminate those religions that are not theirs. I also get this sense on a small scale, when people of Christian faiths show anger or frustration with people who speak against their religion (Often debates that end with something said along the lines of, "We will find out in the end", and thinking the end will find them on the winning side). So my question to you, of all faiths, how much to you relish or enjoy that people actually do not accept the same faith as you? Do you want them too, or better yet, do you expect them too, in order to receive a godly reward?
Do you think the core to large religions would allow religious diversity?

People are took much like seeker4 and a few others that frequent this board, only their ideas are the correct ones. I believe that 90% of this world would love to do away with anyone elses thinking that does is in agreement with thiers. If given a weapon that could erase other peoples thinking and implant only the religion of their choosing do it in the brain of an other they would do it in a heart beat, with out their conscience bothering them.

I have always wanted to ask Christians, Witnesses, etc. How exactly did you want to see me die?
