Why is "all religions are equal" a wrong concept in a
secular country?
You seem to be mixing up issues here between what is a practical
policy for a secular State (particularly one like India) to adopt, and
what Fr Ivo (as a believer in a monotheistic religion) has a right to
personally believe if he so chooses.
I've made my point. Gnight. --FN
*****It is wrong what Santosh is trying to say: In an interfaith dialogue
each believer brings forward his/her own faith and scriptures, without
trying to impose but only exposing. Each one is convinced of the truth of
his/her own religion. In the religious pluralism, one cannot say that all
religions are equally good. The aim of the dialogue is to learn from each
other and contribute for a better society.
