Beliefs

Some believe they have been saved, others believe they are spiritually awake. Some think they are wonderful, others are convinced they are worthless and that they ought to kill themselves. Some believe they are superior, not because they are stronger or smarter, no,  just because they happened to be born into a family with money; others believe they are inferior. You are not the one you think you are.

Pluralism

We must learn to respect all the different religious faiths. Religious faiths are still extremely important for virtually all people here on earth. To question someone's beliefs is to question his or her soul.

We must learn to respect the IS, al-Shabab and Boko Haram. 
We must learn to respect the Hindus ideas about caste and the right-wing bigotry of the Christian fundamentalists. We must respect the Catholic Church's opposition to condoms. We must understand that if someone loses his faith he is like a skipper without charts.
