It was put on the the Mormon chapter of The Foundation for Interreligious Diplomacy. As a liberal Mormon and someone that has formally studied interreligious dialogue, I thought I knew what I was getting into. To my surprise, my expectations were pleasantly exceeded in many refreshing ways. Several times the point of the need for more intra-religious dialogue came up as well. Mormons seriously need to understand the rich resources within their own tradition in support of allowing, supporting, and even HELPING others "worship how, where, and what they may."Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147538002191007055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749789029915695563.post-73874426584518627432010-06-13T11:14:37.320-06:002010-06-13T11:14:37.320-06:00A friend of mine started a religion, but it was la...A friend of mine started a religion, but it was later declared a fraud and he went into hiding. <br />I've heard of prisoners developing religions with strict food codes. <br />The Communist Manifesto bans all religion. <br /><br />When should religions get prime public land for no cost or reduced cost? Which religion should get the most favorable treatment? Should it be determined by how much money they give to a particular politician or group of pols? Do only rich religions get favorable treatment? Should we take into account how a religion treats gays? women? people not of their faith?<br /><br />As a matter of religious faith, I believe in the Eleventh Article of Faith. As a libertarian I am cautious when I read about the religious freedoms in Islamic countries.Architecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563556462453127812noreply@blogger.com
