Quote by Jerry B. Jenkins

I fear it's because religion is man's attempt to reach God, and when he feels he has succeeded, he cannot abide anyone else's claim to have done the same.

I fear it's because religion is man's attempt to reach God,

Summary

This quote suggests that the fear or intolerance towards other people's religious beliefs arises from the idea that religion is constructed by humans as a means to connect with God. When individuals feel they have found the right path or achieved a connection with the divine, they may be unwilling to accept others' claims to have done the same. This possessiveness over religious beliefs stems from the belief that one's own religion is the only true or valid way to reach God, leading to an intolerance of alternative perspectives.
