"Our vocation is not simply to be,
but to work together with God
in the creation of our own life,
our own identity, our own destiny.”
Thomas Merton
Above is a link to the Britannica summary of Nostra Aetate, a provisional of Vatican II (just for familiarity a skim would be more than enough). A lot of interpersonal conflict was occurring due to religious persecution. As an American, I believe everyone should have a right to practice whatever religion they would like. I was taught that we are called to have interfaith discussions to understand and recognize universal truths that myself and the other person share. I think it can be difficult to do/hear but I can confidently say that I can separate the theology of one's religion and the practitioner but I have noticed that when I do speak, that my stance is always unmovable and perhaps a bit fixed, I have sort of come to take discussions as just a form of exploring how a practitioner views their faith versus what I may find on my own armchair research. I have a mailbox below so no matter what you believe please feel free to message me...I think that good morality comes from God and that He would be able to reach anyone in any circumstance. I am not the first to believe this and I am sure I won't be the last
