Every faith hates every other faith. If worshippers of the Greek and Norse pantheons still survived, and don't give me that neo pagan nonsense they worship made feel good amalgam not the faiths as they were historically practiced, they would hate each other just as much as the Christians hated both.

Why do you feel the need to resort to lies. Now I have no doubt that some faiths hate others, but to claim that they all do is just bullshit.

Example? One faith with no instance of any hatred of any other faith ever.

Now we're up to two, though that's only by Ken's count, because the first offering by GotSteel would cover several by itself.

But in all fairness, of course, we're talking about here on Earth.

I do believe pointing a finger at me as a hypocrite, is quite fine with me. I think its fine with God too.

Those that can, lead; those that can't, follow blindly else they are lost.

And you are espousing only your version of the monotheism logic.
You rebuke anyone else's version of any other 'theism'.

If you are listening to your 'one true god' then you are not a 'gnostic' as those that follow the gnostic bible oppose the way the scriptures have been taught over the last few centuries.
In essence, to follow more than 'one true path' is an oxymoron by definition.

IS your path the same as mine? I don't think so. Let me ask? Nope they are different.

So far the planetary count of religions that get by without hating another religion has reached the stratospheric level of 2. And that with some difficulty too. Given that there are thousands of religions and sects available to choose from, finding two doesn't appear to be much of an achievement. Indeed, it's as far from impressive as it can be.

So it would appear that an accurate summary is: Almost all religions hate at least one other religion.

Recalling that many religions foreground virtues such as love and peace, and discourage hate and violence, that answer(s) to the question 'Why do almost all religions hate at least one other religion?' might be intriguing, even dare I say revealing.

Made up nonsense worse than most religions but based on religions that definitely hate other faiths. So no.

I honestly didn't expect you to except that one, and I doubt you will except anyone others put out there. You have made up your mind and no one is going to change that. One of the things I have learned in dealing with closed minded people is there really is no point in trying to explain things to them. It's just a waste of time. Even faced with facts they continue to lie so why bother. I'd rather go to the park and enjoy this nice spring weather.

edited to add and since you have made it clear you think all religions are made up fairy tales, what difference would it make if wicca was too? You act like you thought I might come up with a religion that was real in your eyes and the only thing I can come up with there is atheism. At least that is the one you seem to live for preaching about.

There are religions made up long enough in the past that some people could argue that they aren't made up. Wicca is not that. Wicca is the worst part of western culture. It is a half assed amalgamation of the traditions and beliefs of many different groups mashed together by cultural illiterates. It's very creation shows a hatred and contempt for the beliefs being ripped off.

You are missing the point. If you feel all religions are based on fairy tales and peopled by mindless idiots who blindly follow their imaginary friend in the sky, then what difference does it make when the religion started. To you they are all wrong anyway so what is the difference between them? To sit there and try to tell me one is a better example than the others discounts everything you have ever preached on here about faith.

He asked for one example, I gave him one. Now I could have listed several off the top of my head, but I doubt that would satisfy him so why bother. I have been to a lot of different churches in my years and I have never found one that didn't teach love and peace and discourage hate and violence. Now I am sure they are out there but to claim almost all do it is just another bullshit lie.

The point of contention here is not what the various religions preach - it is whether they can manage to do their business without hating at least one other religion. On that point, to date, there have been 2 nominations of religions that get by without hating another religion. It is noteworthy that you were unable to add to that grand total, despite your claims.

Once we wade through the platitudes and look at what religions actually do (as opposed to what they claim they do) we find that almost all religions hate at least one other religion.

How much does the failure to answer the question 'Why do so many religions hate other religions?' reveal? We can note the difference between the grandiose claims about love and peace and the actual practice of hatred of other religions as just another example of hypocrisy by organised religion (not that there's any shortage of those). But that still leaves the question unanswered. So, once again:

Why is it that almost all religions hate at least one other religion?
