This Indian proverb said it all. Thanks for sharing! I found that honesty, love, compassion, kindness are the common elements of various religions/cultures. I think when the difference interfier in a disrespectful manner is because we forget we're unique and we understand the divine from our perspective and background. Most of the times, the essence is the same, just different form.Cotwani wrote: ↑22 Apr 2019, 17:23 Even though everyone believes that his/her religion is the best, we should respect other people's religion and not force ours down their throats. Religious differences can be debated in a respectful manner if we hope for the other person to see our viewpoint. There is an Indian proverb that says there is no point giving a man a rose to smell after you've cut off his nose.

That's actually one of the reasons Randall was an unlikable character to me.
William never insulted Randall's beliefs and that, among other things, made him my favorite character.
