About This Quote

The idea that your religion is the only true way to be right in the world is dangerous. It forces you to believe that if another person does not see things the same way that they are wrong in some way. You are blind to the fact that every human being has a different idea of what is correct and when they are right. Even when it comes to religion, you cannot know what God wants until you have met with Him face-to-face.
