Just want to say the moderators here are very patient when
answering queries from free-thinkers and members of other
religions. They are able to answer calmly, queries that don't seem
to be really about learning about a particular faith or religion,
but more about challenging and insinuating that a particular faith
is a superstition, cult or fad etc, and that its followers or
practitioners are mindlessly following those teachings.
In other words, all those who believe in a religion, is indirectly
linked or compared with a person with a mental illness; one who has
delusional thoughts all the time.
But those who ask such seemingly rational or logical questions do
not appear to want to recognise, much less accept willingly and
humbly, those core values which are beneficial to all living beings
in the teachings of most religions.
I say this of myself too. Therefore I constantly remind myself I
must not totally avoid making friends from other races, cultures
and religions. I also must learn about their cultures and beliefs
with an open but respectful mind and attitude.
The only precaution I would take is to avoid people who are
manipulative, directly or indirectly teach or suggest values or
ideals that focus on individual freedom and happiness, and nothing
about how everyone is linked physically, emotionally, mentally and
spiritually at the very source of life itself.
I really cannot make it as moderator of a religious forum thread at
this point in my life as I know I'm not patient and calm enough,
not to react to provocative or at times seemingly dogmatic
questions posed to me.
