You make very good points and debate is hardly the word that can describe the exchange that takes place between peoples of differant faiths! I believe that normal mature people can have a discussion about there religions and come to that same conclusion ! That is, we are all people of god and are not that differant at all! But and its a big but, If you throw extreme radical viewpoints into the mix, you get all the things that religion is not supposed to be about! The extreme views of certain fundamentalist bring hate and distrust and egoist in rapture! Discussion goes out the window and out comes the rath of those who feel scorned! The extremist can not have it both ways! You cannot claim anything in the name love if you act with hate! If you feel your way is the only way and those who disagree are product of evil and a threat, you will act out of fear which leads ultimately to hate!
