Religious Tolerance

How can I tolerate your religion when we have been taught we are enemies?
How can I tolerate you when all we see in each other is not our common grounds but our differences?
How can we tolerate each other when we were raised to hate each other?
How can we tolerate each other when we kill each other while we were created to heal each other?
How can we tolerate each other when we can't even relate with each other?

I know what to do.
Our problem is not each other.
Our problem is the middle man.
Our problem is we keep listening to those teaching us about each other when we can easily learn to know each other.
The problem is prejudice.

The solution to religious intolerance is knowledge, respect, patience and love.

What do you know of me?
Have you asked me about it, to know if it is true?
What do I know of you?
Can I ask you if it's true?

Where there is no communication, there is assumptions and miscommunication.
Assumptions rarely produce anything good.
Let's communicate in respect and genuine curiosity.

We are all in it for the same thing. For Salvation, Good life and Heaven.
No body went into a religion to be evil.
We go into religion to be good, better and the best version of ourselves.

God help us all.
God bless Nigeria,
God bless You and I.

something in me just fall in love with this ......have you heard John Lennons song….Let it Be. ""Just let people believe what they want to believe because they will believe what they WANT or NEED to believe anyway, no matter what we say. Think how many different skin colours and hair colours there are. They are just there. We accept them because they are just there and we know that is the way it is""
