Peace
You need to learn to read the bible instead of interprting it blindly! The bible may say the only way to heaven is through your one god but it also says that you must love the people and hate the sin! Wake up and smell the roses! Your God, as well as my Gods and Goddesses, preachs peace! And you are wrong about there will never be peace as long as there are people like me! There will never be peace as long as there are people like you who hate just because.
There will never be peace.
There will never be peace as long as they assocate themselves with the Christ rejecting religions listed in the article. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and those who reject Him and follow false religions will never enter the kingdom of God and are also God's enemies.
