If you are to talk about ideals, then obviously religions can respect each other for them. Many ideals and morals among different religions are similar to each other, so people can agree with one another on another on that.

But if you are talking about beliefs and truths, it really depends on what you mean by accepting/respect. If you are saying that Christians can live with other religions with nonviolence and in peace, a follower of Christ would actually strive for that, and I would say, yes, Christians can respect others of different beliefs. However, if you saying that Christians are to accept what others believe to be as true as what Christians believe, it is contradictory. The primary truths in Christianity are exclusive and not relative. This means that if a different religion believes in something that is different from the truths of Christianity, they're wrong in the view of Christians and it would make no sense for a Christian to say that other religions' truths are as true as Christianity. Because they both believe in different things, either one is right and one is wrong, or both are wrong, but both cannot be right.

If a Christian says that if you can belief whatever you believe and it is totally acceptable, the person is contradicting oneself. That is why when it comes to beliefs, you cannot say that religions can accept one another. If something is true, it cannot be accepted with something that is false, and vice versa. However, different religions can strive to learn more about each other and not to misunderstand each other.

I quite like the Buddhist approach to religion - which is tolerant and accepting of other religions.  Personally, it doesn't matter to me what your personal God or philosophy is along as it's intention includes peace towards others.

For most religions, if the people would actually live by the teachings they claim to follow, then yes. Almost any religion I have ever heard of promotes being a good person, respecting others, treat others well, etc. But so many people are so caught up in the whole 'my religion is the right religion'  bull crap that they think less of anyone who believes in a religion that would says otherwise. They get so caught up in pushing their religions on other people to avoid cognitive dissonance that they are completely ignoring the part of their own religion that tells them to accept and love others for who they are. 

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. For if you love only those who love you... what reward is there in that?"

As long as people continue to see other religions as something that challenges their own beliefs, they will never completely coexist. The only way that will happen is if everyone can accept that everyone can have their own beliefs and it is okay and you don't have to convert them to yours.

If you arent a bigot then yes.
There are tolerant muslims, tolerant jews, christians and hindus.
Then there are those that wave there book over there head like a sword.
Most religious texts have peacefull parts and violent parts.
It depends which part you chose to follow.
Or if you like being a d*** to people, more to do with your mentality than anything.

I do not know about all religions, but I can say that Christians are supposed to love and be kind. So a Christian who is intolerant of someone or feels the need to "attack" another religion is not pleasing God when they do so. I do not think that just because someone doesn't believe in the same God (or the same thing about God) as I do, gives either of us the right to insult or attack them verbally (or any other way for that matter lol). I also think that (as has already been said) if you study other religions, you will find the majority teach peaceful coexistance with others. In fact the Muslim scriptures teach that Israel has the right to their land that they currently possess. And both Jews and Muslims are taught peace and coexistence by their scriptures, so It's people claiming their religion but not following it that cause the disputes we see.

Well, I'm not 100% sure that everyone with different religions will always be able to properly co-exist or not but I'm an Atheist or however you spell it and I can deal just fine with religion and even pop in the Christian threads every once in a while and talk like I am now, well I mean I even had my Layout made by Singelli and she's Christian, Doesn't that count as co-existence? Well that's just about all I have to say on the matter... besides I need to go unload the dishes now... Well as always enjoy your time on Vizzed.com and have a great day.

Honestly I really dont think its the differences that make them so violent toward each other, most violent religious groups come from places like africa or the middle east. Very few are from say, the arab emirates. I think its the poverty and inequality that causes religious people to hate each other. The possibility of religious peace would come from the possibility of ending world poverty.
Jews get on fine with christians in this country, and christians and muslims in Egypt were getting along well when they were uniting against the government.

Why do you think pantheistic religions would have the same hatred towards monotheistic religions the monotheistic religions seem to have towards each other? Buddhists for example as far as I have learned have very tolerant if not indifferent approach forexample to christianity.

Brigand : I'm not saying that the pantheistic religions would hate the monotheistic religions. I just think that it would be hard for them to agree on issues regarding religion and God. You can have disagreements without having to hate the other side.

Imagine if you would a Conservative Muslim having a discussion on religion with a Hindu (I don't know much about Hinduism so I could be wrong). I'm going to assume that the Conservative Muslim would have a difficult time agreeing with the Hindu on some religious issues, since the Koran states that there is no God besides Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.

In a perfect world. Human kind is so set in whatever ways it has that there is no possible way that anytime soon we could coexist openly. As a child I saw people being made fun of for their religion, not for any reasons other than it was different than the bully's religion.

You are very correct there. Seeing how India and Pakistan have been at each others throaths for a long time, though part of it is territorial politics but good point.

They could easily co-exist, so much as the "gnostic" members of them all, sort of die down and stop being so forceful of their own beliefs.
