I disagree. While religious pluralism appears to be the only fair and balanced way to appraoch religion on the surface, it's very nature leads its proponents into logical inconsistencies. Firstly, in order to have pure pluralism, such as that tecoyah is advocating, one would be forced to admit that all religions are correct, despite the fact that there are irreconcilable differences between say Christianity's 'no killing' policy and the beliefs of the Charles Manson. If you were to apply pure pluralism to religion, you would have to accept that the evil cult in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is in fact correct, but how can this be so if one believes that the Hindu belief of non-violence is also equally correct.

Well... at risk of sounding like a non-sequitur... In an absurd world everything is allowed. Correctness is only measured in if you feel that your choices you make are the best choices. The comparitive value in looking at your decision compared to another is essentially nil. "Truth" (with a capital T) doesn't exist except in the eye of the beholder.
