I've pretty-much concluded most are very-much the same. Must be true: There is only one God, maybe broken up into many metaphors though. Only local environments/histories/personalities make a difference. In the West, Christian-Judeo and Capitalism merge as lessons and personalities affect each - only what money is and does calls for some mammoth mutations - yes?
(I just flipped 'Judeo-Christian' to a reverse its order. Does it make a
difference?)(Mai Pen Rye - Thai lingo for never mind, it doesn't matter.)
After studying many texts I believe this rendition of The Bhagavad Gita is probably the most succinct, accessible and reasonable way of expressing what religions should offer our realities on Earth; our natures, appetites, wants and needs. Personalities and historical references aside, this fine, touching, readable tome (in a set of two volumes) bring together East and West belief systems. Like the Tao, it's practical and applicable to our 21st-Centiury lives. As a spiritual message it comes across simply as reasonable, humane... And uplifting.
Think of it this way: Different religions are just different messengers.
This rendition of The Bhagavada Gita particularly doesn't demand pulpits or promises (including threatening
promises); it has the tone of 'it would be better if' - a Tao/Buddhist attitude - it's kindly persuasion.
Which is stronger, knowledge or belief? Should they be in competition? They can/do merge, so accept/use both;
they need not contradict. Why should they; they are aspects of the same; just from different perspectives.
More to the point, different uses. (Was it Plato with the blind men feeling an elephant's different parts,
each describing it as a different creature? A cool lesson; thanks, Aristocles)
Being on one planet, being one race regardless of customs or colors or factions, with technology as it now is we should unify not bicker and fight and claim 'our God's better than your god', which all people should outgrow.
U.S. Congress: Take Note.
An unfortunate aspect of our time is competition
versus cooperation. Such only separates people.
This book can bring you closer to understanding that
different people/beliefs are actually more the same
than different.
I submit thanks to Paramahansa Yogananda for his dramatic clarity,
from me, a Christian, agnostic, Theravada Buddhist, Zen, Tao fan.
Here is a surprising product link to another book I see as ('somewhat' to not affront some) akin:
Stranger in a Strange Land (I may get some flack for this recco; it's science fiction,
written a half-century ago). For some, a radical comparison; for others an ironic romp and satire. For me,
true and enjoyably assimilable parable. Like, for instance, some of the Beatles lyrics.
