Do you agree with these quotes? About religion....
"All religions meditate on the Source. And yet, strangely, religion is one of our greatest divides. If the Source be the same, as indeed it must be, all of us and all religions meditate on the same Source."
As stated by: Dr. Wangari Maathai, leader of the Green Belt movement in Kenya
"All the Prophets have come from the same Light; they all give the same basic messages. None have come to change the older revealed scriptures; they have come to remind people of the earlier Prophets’ messages which the people have forgotten. We have made separate religions as walled forts, each claiming one of the Prophets as its own. But the Light of God cannot be confined within any manmade structures. It radiates throughout all of Creation. How can we possess it?"
As Stated by: Baba Virsa Singh, the spiritual inspiration of Gobind Sadan
"In our world today, particularly in Western countries, we are tending to demonize the other. It is “us,” the sane and balanced, against “them,” the demented, violent, and inhuman. We must resist this attempt to polarize “the good” and “the bad,” for it leads to complacency at best, and to the rationalization of violence, death, and destruction at worst."
As stated by: Andreas D’Souza and Diane D’Souza
I thought these were all intresting quoted from my "Living Religions" book. It comes from the chapter about interfaith initiatives. I remember how much people here argue about the "right" religion and figured I'd post these quotes for you all....
I believe this completely. I actually am going to get a tatoo over the holidays of different religious symbols around my wrist. This symbolizing that i believe in all the religions since they ahve the same basic moral principals and the such. I believe they are all the same.
That is a great idea for a tattoo.. I love it. You'll have to post it when you get it done, I bet it's going to be beautiful!!

It is so true and one of the reason why I refuse to follow a manmade religion. I follow my heart and what I believe is right. I believe in a higher power but I refuse to give names or faces unless I'm called specifically to do so because I believe it limits the true meaning of that power.
me too
