SEOT: Reviewing Religion

"Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike; it is worthless." -Freidrich Nietzsche

Several volunteers left to visit the light temple last evening. Since I had already been there, I took the time to review stances from all the world religions. Expand your mind- this chart helps tremendously: http://www.religionfacts.com/big_religion_chart.htm

I am often discouraged by how judgmental and disproving humans are of others with differing belief systems as their own. Many similar themes exist between all belief systems, maybe this is why it is so difficult to fully accept one religion as my own.

I have resplendent, open-minded faith in this universe and the benevolence of humanity.

A bit of Karl Marx (the often paraphrased quote) to challenge your thinking today:

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
