Why are some religions intolerant in their outlook?

A:Religions are all to some extent in a competitive environment. One of the few ways in which they can compete for adherent is by asserting that other beliefs are wrong. While some religions do so graciously and with tact, some religions demand that the listener believe all other religions to be wrong. By teaching that unbelievers will go to hell, they can then take the next step and say that anyone who does not follow the truth is condemned to eternal life in hell. This is the road to religious intolerance. The Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and, to some extent, Judaism), being monotheistic have a special tendency to intolerance. A follower of a polytheistic religion has no particular problem if someone else believes in yet another god. But the Abrahamic religions teach that there is only one God, so everyone who worships any other god if wrong. Not only wrong, but potentially calling the Jew, Christian or Muslim a liar! To extremists, the response has been to burn the sacred texts, destroy the statues ('idols') and temples, and persecute the believers.

What cells are responsible for making the secondary immune response work?

A hallmark of immune reponses is memory for specific antigens that have triggered immune responses in the past. Immunological memory is due to the presence of a long- lasting antibodies and very long-lived lymphocytes that arise during proliferation and differentiation of antigen-stimulated B cells anf T cells. Every new encounter with the same anigen results in a rapid proliferation of memory cells. Therefore the antibody titer is far more greater than during a primary response and consist mainly of IgG antibodies. This secondary response.

What would a religious response to animals used for entertainment be?

That really depends on the religion. If the animals are being treated well and are not being harmed than I do not believe most religions would have a response. Animals have been used for work and entertainment for the entire history of mankind and the biggest moral outcry is typically that they be treated well and not deliberately harmed during the process. However a few religions do not allow animals to be used for anything at all, but these are comparably rare.

What is your response for the first commandment of the lord?

The first commandment of the Lord typically refers to "You shall have no other gods before me." This commandment emphasizes the monotheistic nature of many religions and the importance of placing the one true God above all other things in life. It serves as a foundation for faith and devotion to a higher power.
