"Have you ever tasted an environment where people from various faiths come together, not to judge each other, but instead to share and understand each faith in a loving and tolerable discussion? Well I have, and am very grateful for the opportunity to do so.
Personally, I feel that the only way this world can be in peace and harmony is when we try to learn and understand others' core of life such as faith. We usually fear things that we don't understand.
Sadly, it is very easy for us to argue about religions due to the various dogmatic differences in faiths. The challenge I think, is to not nit pick these differences, but to find the many similar truths that are taught in all faiths, and harmonize based on those truths.
My experience in interfaith tolerance has been sweet and inspiring. It is only natural for me to want to share this experience with others. I have many friends from various faiths.
When we gather together, I don't look at each one of them as to what religion he/she belongs to, but instead, I try to look at them as my own brothers and sisters, for after all, we belong to the human family."
