"If a believer is absolutely sure that his or her own is the only way to salvation, then any other sacred book will be seen as a threat. If, on the other hand, we start from the idea that God is not the property of any one person and that everyone is searching for him, then we can understand that all religions have something to learn from each other. This is the wisest and most ancient point of view, because it unites us in the humble awareness of having to deal with mysteries that are too great, such as death, suffering or the soul. Those who assume this posture are happy with pluralism."
