Do you tolerate and accept people with different religions and cultures?

I do as long as they don't try to tell me what I am doing is right or wrong and try to push what they believe or their values on me. You have your right to believe in what you want but you have to respect other people's beliefs too.

I am Christian. Don't argue over other people's teachings. Just ask them to tolerate others, not to disturb us, not to terrorize others, not to press others to accept their customs when we have ours. And don't accept their customs if that infringes on our values. Amen

all religions could collide as one. but people won't be too tolerant about it.

of course they do how do you think mix breeded cultures are forming? i don't recommend dating outside of religious culture just because of the difficulty of a sensitive topic. it would cause a lot of arguments and is considered wrong in most religions. as far as race who cares! it's just a skin tone. i actually rarely date with in my own race. i have two beautiful mixed children there are some people who think it's wrong but they are peole who are racist to begin with i don't have any worse experiences in relationships with people of other races than i do with relationships with men of my own race. men are men and women are women. you run into the same problems regardless of race.

No. I don't care if other people think it is. I've been accepting different people since I was born, and I am positive that many other good American people are accepting. You cannot assume that the entire population (or race, whatever you want) is of one mind.

If they are both Biblical (not dogmatic and legalistic) Christians. I don't see why not.  Cultural differences can be a stumbling block no matter what.  Its up to them to decide whether its worth it.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with you entirely. It is refreshing to find a Christian who is willing to accept that other people can have different beliefs. You have restored my faith in people. Thank You

Yes. But it is less a war of cultural diversity and more a war between right and wrong. The real culture war is between those who know God and follow His leading in their lives and those who don't know God and follow their own ideas about right and wrong.

I am, my husband is a foreigner. His family raised eyebrows at first but they were able to learn to accept it later. A lot of adjustments needed to fit in the society but it is all worth it becasue I have a wonderful partner, lover, husband and best friend at the same time for the rest of my life.

1. You can't lump all Christians together; the more fundamental ones tend to be intolerant. UCC and other liberals are usually quite nice.\n\nJews seem to be more tolerant as a whole.\n\nSecular Humanists are much like Christians in that there is a diversity among their ability to tolerate religion and religious belief.\n\nBuddhists tend to be quite tolerant and accepting.\n\nI haven't had much experience with Hindus.\n\nWiccans are of many different ilks tool You have the group that fnds their identity in being persecuted, alwasy bringing up the burning times, almost thinking that they themselves were persecuted. On the other end you have the ones open to what others believe and able to have dialog.\n\nIn the end, intolerance isn't confined to any particular group; all are capable of showing it.

First step: If you can not understand one another: than try. Without ignorance or without discrimination. I think tolerance is key.\n\nSecond step: start viewing each other as human beings above all. I do not judge you. Don't judge me.  I respect you for your beliefs because you have the right to follow whatever path you want.  Respect me. I respect you.  \n\nThen maybe we can all just get along.  (god willing)

so many have tried, more have failed. It is not in human nature to be tolerant and we allwant to control the other. So Alas, peace and understanding wil never happen , for each culture has its own rules and values and we are subjective to our perception to even come to an understanding of how an other cultre functions. Even the slightest difference in your states can cause conflicts... look at the juridical differences between states... \ndo I need to say more? \nWe wish and hope that is what thrives within us.

Hey Roy,\n\nTo give you a better answer, perhaps you could provide references of the religions that promote tolerance of other religions?  I haven't found any yet.  I have found refs that say we shouldn't (as Christians) attempt to cause the fall of an Jews observance by inviting into your home and then serving food you know he cannot eat, but beyond that....?\n\nAs an American I am "tolerant" of your right to exist and believe as you see fit.... but I won't be "celebrating" it.  It's best not to confuse tolerance with celebration.

You do NOT have to accept everyone and everything.  \n\nShould you accept a child molester and his/her actions?\n\nShould you accept someone who beats you?\n\nShould you accept someone telling racist or demeaning jokes or stories in your presence?\n\nThere are alot of things in this life you should not accept and stand up tall against.

Well, there are lots of factors to consider.  Do you both follow your chosen religions very very faithfully?.... like, to the exact letter of the "law"?\n\nDo you have any idea if the other person's beliefs are compatable with what your house of worship teaches?\n\nHow will your family accept or reject this person?  How about your larger social circle.... friends and business colleagues (for when you are older ok).\n\nSit down and talk to your Priest, pastor, rabbi, Mullah or whatever person leads your faith, and ask their insights.

In-tolerance and ignorance. A simple rule to avoid culture conflict would be: Live your life and do whatever you want to do and believe whatever you want to believe, except if that causes harm to another human being or creature.Why stick your nose in someone elses business?

My family is Christian. I had a co-worker who was Muslim. My best friend growing up was Jewish. I had a Ba'hai friend that I corresponded letters with. I know a lady who is a Rosicrucian. My father goes to Church of Religious Science. I think my sister is agnostic, not into anything. I had a Buddhist friend before. I know a guy online who is Wiccan. I have a new friend now who is Sikh but he cuts his hair off. I knew a Lakota shaman during college. I've known several people who practiced Native American spirituality. Now that I am a practicing Hindu, I am making more and more new friends of the same faith. I have also known several atheists as well.\n\nWhat a diverse world we all live in!? Now if everybody could just simple Love each one of us as One Family under one God/Creator!
