Intellectual questioning

Intellectual questioning

Religions make claims about truth, yet some of their views are

not easy to reconcile. For example, doesn’t the theory of reincarnation of the soul, as

found in Hinduism, conflict with the teaching of several other religions that a soul has

only one lifetime on earth? And how can the notion of an immortal soul be reconciled

with the Buddhist teaching that nothing has a permanent soul or essence? We must also

ask questions about tolerance itself. Must we be tolerant of intolerance, even if it is

preached by a religion? Questions such as these arise naturally when we study religions

side by side. Such study sharpens our perception of the claims of religions and invites us

to examine important intellectual questions more closely.
