I think Buddhists are generally very tolerant. In China, for example, you see Buddhist and Taoist temples sharing premises. The Confucius scholars and Buddhist monks maintained a friendly relationship. Even in Singapore and Malaysia, the Buddhists are very tolerant towards other religions.

buddhist can co-exist with any other person apart from his caste,creed,religion,colour etc. because it is a duty of buddhist person according to philoshopy of buddha and now a days it is a severe need of humanity in terms of world peace

OK… I so agree with the contempt that all religions feel for one another when it comes time to pay the piper… but the BIGGEST Problem is the intelligence levels we are dealing with, education can carry a society a long way in procurring a nation of well thought out actions based upon logic and reasoning, perhaps one reason many cultures always used their elders to find peace between one another, but basically because our elders were wise enough to know that fighting for something for your entire life leaves you very little time to enjoy the rewards of the effort put forth!!! we do not get along because of quick youthful thoughts…kind of like allowing teenagers to run the country in the middle of puberty…..of course it would be like the 70′s make love not war… then they make babies that become the adults of today that have no respect to teach future generations and so on…. so maybe it starts over and over…like radon gas in your house, you cannot see it, smell it, hear it, taste it….but that does not mean it is not fatal!!! just my thoughts

Human can’t lives with human is the first time I see this comment. But it is the good one. Anyway, I think Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and others *can* coexist peacefully. Reason is my best friends consist of all of them. We should say *some” Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and others *cannot* coexist peacefully, then I will agree with it.

Honestly? I think Humans cannot live with Humans.

Without religion, we’ll still be able to find something to fight about. Sometimes I think religion is an extremely convenient excuse to wreck havoc in another person’s community.

I pretty much think it’s Human Nature… sadly.

Made and Mouseclone, I’m half-way with you on this one. I neither think that Hindus don’t care at all, nor that either Christians or any other of the main religions are superior to the others. The problem I see is that most religions have something like peaceful co-existence in their writing, but most of them don’t live it.

I have lived so far in Christian (Germany), Buddhist (Thailand), Muslim (Phuket, Kamala and Bogor, Indonesia) and Hindu (Bali) Communities for a longer while – but somehow it is beyond me, why there is no respect or acceptance for other beliefs among all of them…even though it is written in the holy writings.

So far the Hindus in Bali come closest to an open-minded religious group, but even here is infighting or looking down on other beliefs…

Hm!

The problem with Christianity is, as a collective group, they believe they are right. There is no prof that Christianity is the “Religion to Be”. They will tell anyone that they are wrong in their beliefs.

I personally am on the fence with Christianity and Paganism, and more so on the Pagan side. When we have a festivals, they welcome Christians with open arms, and are happy to discuss religion with anyone, not just Christians. What they will not stand for is being told they are wrong. they believe that they are correct and judge themselves accordingly. Pagans do not like Christians to the extent that they are so closed minded and feel that everyone is wrong even themselves; Baptist, Church of God, Catholics, etc.

Is there a religion that is correct, I don’t think so. e kind to one another and have respect for other beliefs. It will take you a long way and on a great journey. You might even learn something.

This comment was added by King1Con via Propeller: QUOTE: "Christians can co-exist with anyone. There is no commandment in the New Testament to kill people - but rather to love your enemy, pray for those who persecute you, when slapped, turn the other cheek, when compelled to walk with someone walk twice as long, when asked for your coat give your shirt as well. People are not "born" Christian, but every one has to make a choice in their life at some point in time, when Jesus calls them to "follow me". The question is, how do the other religions compare?" /QUOTE
