G'kar, how do you justify the contradictory nature of this statement? Surely by embracing all religions - even those that are opposite from each other - you are actually
creating your own religion, a new ecumenical relgion seperate from say Monotheistic and exclusive religions such as Judaism and Islam. To be Islamic is to adhere to a set of behavioural patterns. The actions define the religion, so simply believing Mohummads teaching is not enough to be Islamic. Are you performing the necessary actions of Islam?
I am being serious and not trying to initiate an argument. I am seeking to understand how you have justified the contradictory nature of ecumenicism.
