And its true believers do not look at other religion through the products human acts but rather at the authentic teachings, sources and reasoning :)

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! But I believe even in unconditional love, we should forgive, but at the same time make known to the erring person that he must not do the same mistake or sin again. You know what - I feel sorry that there are people who condemn other religions. They talk like - if you don't belong to their church, you will not be saved and that they are the only chosen ones.. :( I don't believe it is religion that saves a person, or that it serves as ticket to the kingdom of God. I believe it is faith in God per sé that would bring us to that place. You said it, BW! UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
