Different Religions

Is there a end to Religious strife?

There are 9 major religions in the world today such as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhaism etc. Not to mention different sects and churches within some of these Religions. Christianity alone have more than 1000 different churches around the Globe.

This is one big issue that divided people in this world. For many people, Religion is mainly about tradition, and simply following the beliefs of their parents and family. Most traditions have much of value that should be cherished and preserved, but they can also be barriers to understanding between individuals, communities and nations. People can be afraid and suspicious of anything different from what they know and are used to.

If we look at the world today, we can see that people are divided, some countries goes against each other because of what they claim its their Religious rights or beliefs. Many of these wars and terorist attach todays are happen because of the differences of understanding of man made beliefs.

While these madness is going around the world, few people have a different idea. This is what they believe if we take some times and look into the heart and true spirit of all the world's great religions and to consider the true teachings of their founders. If we do this, we will discover that they are all in agreement. That the foundation of all religions is one

All religions of the world talk about oneness of God:

1. "the lord our God is one Lord" (Christ, New Testament, Mark 12:29



2. "but just how many gods are there....?"One" (Hinduism, Brihan - Aranyaka Upanishad 3:9:1)



3. "He is God, the One and Only; God the Eternal, Absolute... and there is none like unto Him" (Muhammad, 570 - 632 A.D, Koran 112:1-4)



4. "No God is there beside Thee, the Supreme Ruler, the All-Glorious, the Omniscient." (Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations, p.6)



5. "I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me." (Judaism, Isaiah 45:5)

These are only some of the quotations from different religions proves that they all agree about the Oneness of God.

All Religions talk about the qualities of God such as love, caring, respect, trust, unity, kindness, humility and so on.

Religion should be the Cause of Love and Affection.Religion should unite all hearts and cause wars and disputes to vanish from the face of the earth, give birth to spirituality, and bring life and light to each heart. If religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred and division, it were better to be without it, and to withdraw from such a religion would be a truly religious act.

For it is clear that the purpose of a remedy is to cure; but if the remedy should only aggravate the complaint it had better be left alone. Any religion which is not a cause of love and unity is no religion. All the holy prophets were as doctors to the soul; they gave prescriptions for the healing of mankind; thus any remedy that causes disease does not come from the great and supreme Physician.

In conclusion, I wonder if this misunderstanding that causes war and terrorist attach causes by fail to interperet the true meanings of Religions Holy writings or is it better to go without religions?
