God’s answer:

Mahatma Gandhi

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

It’s not about Me. It’s about you.

Question: So what you are telling is that the root of religious intolerance/ discrimination is the way people behave and not necessarily because of their different beliefs in God?

False accusation
You are the cause. Faith is the reason.

Note: When God talks of faith, this also covers atheism (faith in self only).

The Samaritan woman
We got along.

This is in reference to the story of the Samaritan woman and the well.
