I also agree with the point that religious approaches can maintain a source of power for the morality. As Sartre states, it is almost impossible to have objective, agreed-upon moral principles without a notion of God or Hereafter and other principles of religious teachings e.g "donot make any living creature suffer, since every living has a respectable soul". Sartre concludes: "life is meaningless" as a result of his Atheism.

I think that the idea of God, afterlife is very important for the happiness in the world. A religious philosopher depicts this in one of his works, a short part called "the second word" which is also available on the internet.

Good thread, I think there wasn't a single post I didn't agree with.

I think that it would be very useful to start with the concept dialogue itself.
In order to do this we had better start to contemplate on the basic meanings of the word "dialogue".

For example, dialogue basicly means "a conversation between two or more people."

the very basic inference I can make from here is that

you do not have to change yourself when you make a dialogue. On the contrary, it is a way to express your own ideas.

I am waiting for much better points , since this is a translators' forum.
