All orthodox chrstians by definition believe that non-chrstian religions are false! Orthodox moslems believe that non-moslem religions are false! Orthodox Jews believe the religions of the nations of the world are false! That's the way most religions work!!!
Most people, including most FReepers, simply don't realize that the liberals have reduced religion to subjective ethno-cultural folklore and have relegated any and all religious people who hold to orthodox beliefs of any kind to a sort of leper status--just as they've done with opposition to homosexuality!
Come on people! Recognize this for what it is! Sincere adherents of non-chrstian religions (of which this writer is one) have no reason whatsoever to be offended by the notion of chrstians who believe only chrstianity is the true religion, nor should they have any concerns about any other religion (including islam) making the exact same claim!
This whole notion of religion as subjective folk belief began with the "enlightenment." It must be rejected! Everyone must EXPLICITLY reaffirm religions as claimants to absolute truth, even if those claims are mutually exclusive! This is how it was understood by everyone until a few decades ago. Let's get it back to that!!!
Exactly so. I don't believe in any religion, and it doesn''t offend me in the slightest for an adherent of a religion to claim that his is the One True Faith.
