The dream of unity of religions

Thoughts on religious unity...
 
The ULTIMATE ANSWER to our endless worldly problems is not to have a God-fearing religion, but for all existing religions to find that "Way of Life" which loves all forms of creatures and living beings created by "Him" to share the planet together, peacefully.
 
 
Christianity:
One Christ, One Bible, One Religion, One God BUT
A Latin Catholic will not enter a Syrian Catholic Church.
These two will not enter a  Marthoma Church.
These three will not enter a  Pentecost Church.
These four will not enter a  Salvation Army Church.
These five will not enter a Seventh Day Adventist Church.
These six will not enter an Orthodox Church.
These seven will not enter a Jacobite church.

There are 146 castes in Kerala alone, 
each will not go to the other's church to pray...!

So much for One Christ, One Bible, One God! What unity among those who believe in Jesus!
 
Islam:
One Allah, One Quran, One last Messenger of Allah....! 
AND ALL MUSLIMS CALL THEMSELVES BROTHERS!
BUT, 
Shias and Sunnis cannot see eye to eye.
They kill each other anywhere and everywhere.
A  Shia will not go to a Sunni Mosque.
These two will not go to an Ahamadiya Mosque.
These three will not go to a Sufi Mosque.
These four will not go to a Mujahiddin mosque...
There are so many divisions among  Muslims and these brothers
can't share their places of worship.

The brothers have been killing/bombing/conquering/murdering/raping each other
in the name of Islam for the last 500 years, since the day Islam began..!

They have never been or never will be at peace with Jews or Christians in the name of religion, yet all 3 pray to the same God of Abraham. 

One Allah, One Quran, One Nabi....!
What is this Unity they talk of  !

All Muslims are not Terrorists, 
but most Terrorists are Muslims.
and 60% of all victims of Muslim terrorism are Muslims.
 
THEY KILL THEMSELVES IN THE NAME OF RELIGION.
What a shame !
 
Hindus:
1,280 Religious Books, 
10,000 Commentaries, 
more than one lakh sub-commentaries 
for these foundation books, 
Hundreds of  gods, 
A variety of Aacharyas, 
thousands of Rishies, 
hundreds of languages...
 
Still, everyone  believes rebirth and karma  
Hindus never fought  with each other
in the last ten thousand years in
the name of religion.
BUT
What a shame they believe that Brahmins to be 
superior in caste and the others to be of a lower caste.
WHAT A SHAME !
 
BUDDHISTS 
They believe he was a Hindu Prince
Who suddenly decided to become an acetic
Meditation made him see the way to Nirvana.
HE PREACHED THE NOBLE PATH TO GET THERE
 
Buddhism is a way of life and not a religion they say 
But the followers have devised various forms of worship
This led to many forms of Buddhism - 
Mahayana, Hinayana, Theravada and what not !
And it has almost vanished
From the land where it was born !
 
China is the land with the largest number of Buddhists
But the State does not foster it.
Confucious  gave his own interpretation of Buddhism.
And that became the dominant form of Buddhism there.
 
In Sri Lanka it is the State Religion and they say theirs is the purest form,  but more  killings of non-Buddhists have taken place there  Than in any other part of the world. Buddhist Monks are known to be violent and they even  destroy places of worship of other religions.
 
WHAT A SHAME !
