>> But don't you see that if religion *is* a matter of objective truth -- and 
I frankly do not understand what
 other kind of truth there could be -- then what is true is true for
 everyone, and what is wrong is wrong for everyone, and if you or I am
 wrong, or (and it may be the same thing sometimes) *in the wrong,* then
 that could have immeasurably serious consequences? I'm not trying to say
 here, "Convert to Christianity," I'm simply trying to say that Christianity
 is either true or false and if it's true, then *everybody* had better
 convert to Christianity. And if it's false, then nobody should, at least
 not in the interests of truth.>>

Not so lonely, i'm trying to keep with Bible/Gay questions, but if that a 
religion has the truth implies the *wrong* are doomed, chances are the 
greater part of the world population is doomed even without knowing. The idea 
isn't mine, nor new.

But then, this remembers me a tale I was told at school, probably going with 
the  Alfonso X period, about two wise men from different religions that after 
debating a lot concluded that, as they couldn't settle the beliefs issue, 
they would pray for each other, because God was love, and both knew his 
friend was an excellent person, so both comforted with the view of their 
perfect, all-love God, being mercy.
