In reply to Lou's concern about the quote by Jean Rousseau-2 » Lou Pilder, posted by Lou Pilder on September 26, 2004, at 10:09:50
Friends,
The second part of the quote in question is what I am asking clarification to and the parts in the link to click on that I have mentioned.
On the one hand, Rousseau states that [..tolerance should be given to all religions that tolerate others...].
But the part that I am asking for clarification to is the part that Rousseau states in the link to that writing,[...christianity preaches only servitude and dependence...true christins are made to be slaves...this short life count little in their lives...]. Is that being tolarent to Christianity? This is part of why I am asking for clarification. I consider those statements to be false accusations toward christians and demening to christians and inconsistant with being tolarant to all religions and has thepotential to put down those of the christian faith and thearfore could be deemed as not supportive to the goals of the faith board.
The purpose of the administrative board is so that things like this can be discussed so that a more supportive atmospher could be made. I am not a member of christiandom, but I feel put down by the statement in the link by Rousseau and if it said, [...budddism preaches that buddists should be slaves...] , I would feel put down also.
