Pope cautions against blurring lines of religious differences
By Francis X. Rocca
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI praised collaboration with other faiths in pursuit of common social goals but cautioned against dialogue that could lead to blurring of religious differences.
Yes of course—all the religions came from the same God to the same human race but at different times of history, so of course we should not blur the lines of when in history they each came! Would you want to blur the lines between third grade and sixth grade? 
Thank you for reminding us of this difference!

Interesting post. I have just posted something on interreligous dialogue, with comments representing very different positions. Here is the link in case you are interested: http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/messiah-moon/
I suppose the question might involve how two parties can learn to disagree. I must admit the rigidity sanctioned under the rubric of religion would not be acceptable in other domains. Perhaps this means there is a larger problem…
Thanks for publishing my comments. I tend to run the gambit…seeing both the skeptical and religious viewpoints. I have just written a post on the need for perspective in interreligious dialogue.
