When I am referring to outcast people, I am referring to how religions (not spirituality)can tend to outcast other groups that don't adhere to or adopt their values/rules.
Who is outcasted depends on what majority rules and whether or not their values allow for "Live and let live".
I don't feel a need to be planted into that olive tree you are referring to, but I can respect that you have the right to choose what your religion is according to your own values and choice.
Since you've said that you studied various Eastern religions, then you realize that their holy scriptures also have prophetic content. I'm not advocating for any one religion and I am not advocating for TF version of universality.
If TF really believed in universality, then they would cease to proselytize and lead people in saying a salvation prayer.
Is it all or nothing with you? Do you feel like if people aren't heeding your message if they don't become part of your olive tree then they should be avoided or converted?
Or do you believe it is possible to respect choices people make, even if you feel they are the wrong choices, because it is a very personal thing, deciding how to define spirituality.
