this past weekend me and my friend were talking about religion and that topic led to a discussion about world peace. We had both gone to Christians schools that taught us that the key to world peace was Jesus. I started to wonder, do all religions believe that their messiah, prophet or leader is the key to world peace? And if yes, wouldn't that mean all the other religions have to conform to that one religions believes? Then i realized this couldn't be right. Maybe the real key to world peace is tolerance, excepting people's flaws, believes and ideas. I've always believed if someone is doing something that is different or controversial, as long as they aren't hurting me, my family, or humanity, then they should be free to do whatever they want; Whether that be being gay or being an atheist, or even plucking of all of ones eye brows...
What i am saying is, the key to world peace is Tolerance. I know this maybe impossible, but so is 6 billion people conforming to one religions standards.
