               RI-379Ri  'Religious Tolerance'


from Ambassador for Mankind


Message # RI-379Ri for Internet




Religious tolerance,
 or the lack of it,
  has been a severe problem along the ages.


There are two simple data which solve this problem.

        1. Religious tolerance is
            respecting the awareness-level of another.

The awareness-level of another
 is never the same
  from person to person,
 nor
  from subject to subject.

This means
 that a person may have a high awareness-level
  on one subject,
   on which your own awareness-level is low,
     and vice-versa.
Such differences
 are to be respected from both sides,
  up or down,
 and that IS religious tolerance.


A person with a higher awareness-level
 on a certain subject
  could only help another
   to raise the other's awareness-level,
     if the awareness-level of the other is respected.
Someone would only learn from another
  who has a higher awareness-level on a given subject,
   if he respects the awareness-level of the other.


RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IS
 RESPECTING THE AWARENESS-LEVEL OF ANOTHER ON ANY SUBJECT.


The other simple datum
 is:

        2. The actual existence in life
            of anti-social personalities
             inside a religion or religious organization,
            who mis-use the natural desire
             for religious experience and practise people have,
              in order to ACCUSE people of being aware and alive,
               as if it were a sin.

Everybody
 has a responsibility towards any religion,
  that mechanisms and power-structures within a religion
   which are hindering or preventing people
    from striving for their natural desire
     to reach for spiritual awareness,
  are EXPOSED.

At the bottom of such
 hindrances, preventions and power-structures,
   one can always find a small number
    of anti-social personalities within that religion.



EXPOSING anti-social personalities within a religion
 benefits any religion,
 and benefits anyone,
   no matter which religion he belongs to.


It is the responsibility of anyone,
  regardless of which religion he belongs to,
 to expose and so remove
  anti-social personalities
    who infect
     and abuse that religion.


This is not a matter of which religion.
 All religions have suffered from this.


And so,
 exerting this responsibility
   is not religious intolerance,
  but
   it is helping any religion.
