Taking Sri Lanka as an example of a nation where the concept of religious diversity hasn't functioned, let's say, in the best ways, my question is:
How to vow tolerance and respect to one's professed religion if, simultaneously, the other one's converted faith of which he/she pledges allegiance to has, as one of its main ontological premises, the principles of typically despising the belief of others and only deeming theirs as correct?
I'm not sure if I'm making myself understood by the readers, but how to coexist peacefully and harmoniously if one of the basilar/constituting and nurturing ideas of certain religions (I could cite the Abrahamic ones but also history has taught us that the Hinduists and even Buddhists are quite savage when they want to) is indeed to co-opt, to intimidate and persecute other religions?
Does this work beyond merely superficial conciliatory and unsubstantiated words? Won't it inevitably get some attraction?
My wife (28F) and I (27M) have lived together since June. We each brought dogs into the marriage. I have a 9-year-old beagle bulldog (43 pound female) and she has a 2-year-old Havanese (13 pound female). For the majority of the time weโve lived together, theyโve gotten along wonderfully. However, weโve recently run into a problem.
My dog is normally very mild mannered. However, she occasionally lashes out at my wifeโs dog (this happens a few times per month). This manifests itself in a very stern growl and then her lunging at the smaller dog. (They also often wrestle playfully. This is distinctly different.) She has never hurt the other dog and stops when we reprimand her, but we are concerned to the point that we have temporarily sent my wifeโs dog to live with her parents.
I took my dog to the vet today, and was given minimally helpful insight. My dog has consistent ear infections, so we were given medication for those, and if that doesnโt work, the vet suggested a diet trial (my dog also has itchy skin and some GI issues.) However, this doesnโt solve the real issue: Why arenโt our dogs getting along? (To be clear, my dog is always the aggressor. Also, she has never shown any aggressive tendencies toward humans.)
Has anyone encountered anything similar? Is this purely a behavioral problem? Is there an underlying medical issue? While we are considering permanently separating them if needed, we want to first exhaust all other possibilities.
TLDR: My wife and I both brought dogs into our marriage. For months, they got along great. But recently, the bigger dog has started acting aggressive and we donโt know what to do.
Does it bother anyone else that empath hiveminds cant have regular pops peacefully live in their borders? I really feel like they should have some mechanic similar to rogue servitors where regular organic pops can peacefully live in your borders even if they cant do all jobs. It just doesn't make sense to me that my peaceful compassionate empathic hivemind only knows how to slaughter or enslave other races.
After months of tension, it looks like we've reached a point of mutual acceptance! Fiona is very graciously letting Jack sleep in HER bed.

I've been taught since a young age that the Middle East functioned more as one country before the British/French divided it up after World War I and that the cause for all modern conflict stems from that. Recently on Reddit, I've seen some people mention there had historically been much conflict between Jews and Muslims in the region. To what extent has there been an excess of conflict between these two groups before WWI and did it actually significantly increase after or is that a more contemporary narrative?
