Respect Others Religion
I know I have asked the question in the past, Is Religion man’s downfall. I presented that question to provoke thought. And now revisiting this question, I want to present it in another form. Is it the actual religion that is causing many of worlds problems today, or is it the way people are perceiving their religion?
What if we took the attitude of “I don’t care how you worship or believe in God”. The thing that drew me to Buddhism is that they do not say we are right and you are wrong. Instead they will ask what is your religion? And your reply is Catholic or Muslim or Hindu or whatever the case may be for you. And the response from the Buddhist would be “Wonderful let’s discuss our similarities”
If people would mind their own religion, I think the world would be a much peaceful place. How many wars have we experienced over the years in the name of religion? Too many to count!
You are not responsible for any other person’s spiritual outcome other than your own. Wow! What a concept Brings a whole new meaning to mind your own business. What we need today is a respectfulness of other religions. Think about it!

There are many paths to the top of a monutain. Any mountian. But, there is only one path down to the valley below. The very same path that you just walked on, to climb up to where you are now. Should I keep climbing, or should I go back towards the way from which I have just come? This is the question everybody should ask THEMSELVES every day.
