I don't think you're a good example of typical, frankly. I did CCD, was confirmed, the whole 9 yards. I have a reasonable understanding of the beliefs in the church (heck, my babysitter as a kid was my mom's cousin—a nun—who I'm still in contact with (she's now head of a large parochial school system in a decent sized city)).

No I guess I'm not typical and I suspect I got this way because of the many walks of life I have met. I did the confirmation deal and have a good idea of the beliefs of the church. But for me, church is a business institution in many respects. I have seen to many corrupt churchs than I care to count. Filling the church's coffers so the pastor can take the entire family on a Bahama cruise is not in my game plan. I'm not saying all churchs are like this but I have seen a good many.

Quote:

Being tolerant of other beliefs doesn't mean that a person does not PERSONALLY believe those beliefs are untrue. You might have a MUslim friend. You MUST believe his belief is untrue—if his is true, your christian belief is FALSE. The two cannot both be true.

I understand what you are saying but I do not dwell on what one believes is true, that me being a Christian, would believe it untrue. It never has any bearing on my interaction with people. But yes, both could not be true in my mind because of what I was told/taught. However, it does not belay me to listen and understand the others view/belief. If for not just interest sake alone but obtaining a understanding of what make this person tick.

Quote:

Again, a huge difference between admirable tolerance of others, and thinking that their beliefs are TRUE.

Absolutely!

Quote:

Say you believe in Noah's ark. Some tribesman in New Guinea doesn't—in his tradition that never happened. If his is true, yours is untrue. You can respect and tolerate his belief, but you cannot claim that you personally hold it to be as true as something you profess to believe as true.

Correct.

That make any sense?

Yes sir.
