A resort to force is apt to provoke a resistance which may recoil upon the aggressor. Religious conflict is a public nuisance which easily becomes a public danger. Religious conflict is sinful, because it arouses the wild beast in human nature. Religious persecution is sinful, because no one has a right to stand between another human soul and God. Religions cannot be inculcated by force--There is no such thing as a belief that is not held voluntarily. Absolute reality is a mystery to which there is more than one approach. The pilgrims exploring different approaches are fellow-seekers of the same goal ; The task of disengaging the essence from the non-essentials in mankind's religious heritage ; Selves, suffering, self-centredness, and love.
