Will Smith On His Faith And Other Religions

Excerpts of Will Smith's interview published in Newsweek (Dec. 8, 2008 issue) where he talks about his view on other religions and his own belief :

" I love the nature of humanity's search for meaning. For me I'm certain about my relationship with the model of perfection of human life that's laid out with the life of Jesus Christ. I'm certain of that. So I'm at home and not fearful when I sit in a mosque or a synagoque or a Buddhist temple, the same way that I'm home in the church of Scientology. I like anywhere people are searching for the truth, and I respect their path and I'm intriqued by their path. I think when you are certain in and of what you believe in, you can open your mind to seeing the ways of others. I'm not bothered when someone says "Allah" because they're talking about the same person... When people are afraid of religion they have to go back and get in touch with the Good Book. Fear of other religions means you're questioning your own understanding, and that's just not where I am."
