Religious Lineage (Jesus, Earth, blood, choice, creation)

[peaceful]

The truth behind what the world fights about. If the majority of religions believe there is 1 god then why are we not at peace? Why does that not allow us to love one another?

History is a slave, not a Master.

Which answers?

That's because they're stuck on the page. The answers aren't on the page.

That's a good question. Especially when we consider that all those majority religions teach their members to love all people.

How did you form that belief?

Yes! That is what I am getting at. The world is at war with muslims yet that is what Muhammad preaches. Catholics have an intense hatred towards many. What happened to the Jews? Thousands of years of oppression. Why? Religion teaches us nothing of this. It goes back to my original posting. The lineage is the same for all groups. What is wrong with the world?

That's what I said too. I think there are a wide variety of factors but the main ones being people not practicing what their religion teaches. People are able to do all the little details but they miss the big picture.

How did you arrive at the belief no one can get to god unless through Jesus? How many times does one say "Oh God"? He is listening, all the time and responding. He is everywhere, in our hearts, in the way we live our life and choose to treat others. He is there when we fall off our paths to guide us along. Myself I have spoken with him many times and my requests answered.

Who says the world fights about the truth? Couldn't each of us be fighting over our own lies with nobody fighting for the truth?

Maybe the "majority of religions" are wrong. Maybe "belief" and "God" are part of the problem.

Great question! Why do you think that is so?

Yes, rather sad isn't it? I wonder whether we will ever be one? Many have predicted so. I hope for future generations!

You just said it. People are fighting to protect their lies!
