I'm still reading it, but early in "The End of Faith", Sam Harris argues that religious tolerance is a problem, that it's this "Well, I believe X and think that my beliefs are right. Still, it's OK if you believe in L, even if you have profoundly different ways of worshipping God." that's causing troubles. I'm looking forward to continuing with the book, but that has given me something to think about.

I think it's presumptuous and rather silly to think any the organized religions have The Right Answer. We're all interpreting the Bible, at least the Jews and Christians are. The sad thing there is that we get caught up in minutia and forget that it's the basic part of the message that's important. The details -- things like transubstantiation, how often to have Communion, whether priests should marry -- that's all less important than actual belief and doing as Jesus taught, which is to love your neighbor as yourself and to simply believe that God is.
