I definetly should stop searching for Christian symbols in the sky. /Christianity and Tolerance?

Have you ever heard about THE BLUE BEAM PROJECT ?!
Watch this and you’ll understand what’s that:

“I ask for all people ( He didn’t say all Christians or even all monotheists! ) of good will to lead the ways of just people and peace with persistence and endurance.” ( the Pope proceeding the current one )

>Once every week or so the theological faculty of my university has some event we call “Breakfast of Religions”. That means that there is a large table where you can find every kind of food one could perhaps eat for breakfast and then any student who wants to and who is studying Christian theology, Judaism or Islam is allowed to sit down at this table and to join these Jews, Christians and Muslims breakfasting.
>”Actually we’d only need the Torah, since the New Testament and the story of Mohammed described in the Koran just are additional things. The New Testament even quotes the Old one.” ( Although I’m not sure if I quoted him perfectly, I at least can assure you that Prof. Niehr said that. )
>During one lecture the university lecturer quoted a part of a poem:”There are people who search and there are people who know. I prefer those who know they still search.” ( This quote means that no matter how hard we try – and we should try hard – none, be it a Jew, a Christian or a Muslim, will ever understand God completely, since he is to high above us to be understood completely. )
>By the way Christianity wouldn’t even have come to be without tolerance: The first Christian preachermen held their speeches in the synagogues of Jewish communities who accepted them. In addition Peter and Paul both won many non-Christian people by firstly recognizing that these non-Christian ethnic groups had a remarkable culture, too. Only this way they could slowly start a dialogue with them. Only this way they could convince these people of their religious opinion.
>”According to the latest statisctics the majority of German Christians think that doing good deeds is the best way to praise God and not praying especially often or going to church every week.” ( the professor who held some speech to welcome the new students of theology. )
>”The community of believers is visible for God only.” ( the very same professor )
>”Many ways lead you to the good. They ways are there, but it’s you who has to go.” ( Once a lecturer quoted this part of a German poem. )
>Markus Vogt, a German advocater of Christian social ethics once said we would bring wealth and preservation of nature to developing countries if we just respected their native’s culture.

>”He ( Jesus ) didn’t sacrifice himself for our sins only, but for the sins of the whole world.” ( a German, Christian theologian )
>”...That’s why all creatures on earth praise you…” ( from a Catholic prayer )
>In the village I live in, we do a lot for ecumenical Christianity.
For example: Sometimes protestants and Catholics meet in the same church to celebrate and even more often it happens that the Catholic minister is invited to speak in front of a protestant community and vice versa. After having held his sermon in front of a Catholic community for example a protestant minister thanked them for having given him a warm welcome and he said that this is what religion should be like. By coexisting peacefully – just like that – we’d get at least a glimpse of what paradise was like, this wise man said. He underlined this by reminding us of the fact that Jews, “our elder brothers”, for example great each other – and others – by saying “Shalom” ( peace ) which is very similar to the Muslim “Salam aleikum” or the Christian “May peace be upon you”.
>Also he reminded us that in the Christian New Testament neither the conservative Jews nor the followers of Christ were described as perfect role models.
>”When we live in peace, that means that we bring the presence of God to mind.” ( a minister of which I unfortunately don’t remember which confession he belongs to )
>”The church is…a sign and a tool…for the unit of mankind.”
”...with its love the chuch encloses everyone* who is weak.”
”...she…( the church ) outruns all times and borders of the people.”
”...This doesn’t exclude the idea that apart from her ( the church’s ) structure multiple elements of sanctification and truth are to be found…”
”...God who founded mankind from the beginning as one unit…”
“In multiple ways belong to her ( the unit )...other people who believe in Jesus Christ and all the others who thank God’s mercy are called to God’s salvation.”
”...The will to bring them salvation also includes those who accept the Creator…”
“But also those who search this “unknown” ( for them unknown ) God aren’t separated from him.”
”...Who doesn’t know the Gospel and his church…, but honestly searches for God, who recognizes his will by using his conscience and who tries to fulfill this will, can achieve salvation.” ( two sheets we got during a lecture at university )

”...Thus we have to regard everyone who refuses the Holy Scripture with tolerance and respect.” ( the minister of our village’s church )
I guess all of you know the story of Kain and Abel, don’t you? The story that is to be found in the Old Testament and that is about these two men of which Kain murdered his brother Abel because he felt like being treated in an unfair way, seeing that his god prefered Abel’s sacrifice. Anyway there are two remarkable things about this story: Firstly both of them sacrificed two different things and secondly God always liked Abel and although he condemned Kain’s deed he still cared for this murderer’s protection after seeing what he did.
Some people interpret this the following way: The two different sacrifices are meant to symbolize different religions and different practices of religion and that thus the message of this story may be that God accepts all of them. After all he seemed to accept Abel and the fact that he cared for him, also proves that he accepted Kain.
