    You can respect someone and still think they’re wrong. Just like I respect you right now.

    But if you truly believe in your religion, then you must believe that other religions aren’t right.

      Not necessarily. If I wear rose-tinted glasses while yours are tinted green, I may still believe that the worlds we see are lit by the same light.

        If you believe that, then you believe you do not actually know the truth. But only an interpretation of what might be true.

      That’s only your view of it, and if it suits you then so be it.

      I think the Hindu school of thought is described here, that there is one truth (god), but it has many manifestations (religions)

      Then there is the Stoic view of Logos, which is the ”natural order” of the world. It’s a philosophical view, but according to it Logos has a divine source and it’s up to the individual to align with it and accept it. So since Logos contains multiple religions, does it matter which ones are right or wrong, rather how to align yourself with them?

        So Hindu believe that the alien worshipping death cult that thinks all Hindu should die is as true as their own religion? That doesn’t seem right.

          By the way, I actually put in some effort in that comment to you which you downvoted. To me that felt a bit disrespectful of you.

          You have to ask some Hindu about it. Maybe if you’re less argumentative and more eager to learn they’ll tell.
