Cartoons: Respecting what is Sacred
Tolerance, noun: The
capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs
or practices of others.
Tolerating the beliefs of
others will make the world a much nicer place to live, but if you only
tolerate another's religious views you limit your life experience, and
chance to expand as a human being. Each person's journey to Adonai,
Allah, Brahman, God, Elohim, Elot, Tao, Theos, Yahweh... the Universal Consciousness
is their journey, the light is the same, just viewed from
different perspectives.
"The world in which you were born is just one model of reality.
Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you. They are unique
manifestations of the human spirit."- Wade Davis
"I never told my own religion nor
scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor
wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an
excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and
correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our
religion must be judged."
Thomas Jefferson, 1819
What is the definition of a human being?
....In the word "huma", "hu" represents
spirit, and the word "mah" in Arabic means water. In English
the word "human " explains two facts which are characteristic
of humanity: "hu" means God and "man" means mind,
which word comes from the Sanskrit "mana", mind being the
ordinary person. The two words united represent the idea of the
God-conscious person; in other words HU, God, is in all things and
beings, but it is man by whom He is known. "Human" therefore
may be said to mean God-conscious, God-realized, or God-man.

No
world peace if no peace among religions says theologian Hans Kung
Bogota, 4
April (Ecumenical News International-ALC)--If there is not peace
among religions,
there will be no peace in the world, Swiss-born
theologian
Hans
Kung has noted during an address during a week of ethics and
world peace in the capital city of Colombia. "The great
religions
have the conditions necessary to mobilize people to support a
planetary ethic: defining moral objectives, proposing
instructions and criteria for action, motivating human beings
both rationally and emotionally, so that the moral norms may be
lived out in practice," said Kung. [375 words,

Learn about other religions. It helps you
understand who you are, and who are your global neighbors.
