Postmodern Multicultural Diversity

It is interesting, but sad, to see how our culture is, for whatever reason, not able to assign value to religion. It's a terrible thing to actually have a definite belief system. After all, hasn't religion been the cause of so much killing? The prevailing belief system (religion) that so many respond with is this:

1. Everyone has their own beliefs and that is OK
2. It's best if people keep their religious views to themselves.
3. It's not right for people of one persuasion to attempt to convince others of their way.

of course, these are all possible because of the underlying falsehood:

4. There is no absolute truth, so whatever you say, is truth.

It's also interesting to see that even those who will correspond about religion, focus only on what they believe. God is like not even in the discussion. There is no concern with, "But what did God say?" or "But what does God require of me?"

The following link goes to my posting that was given in response to a series of similar questions.
