Question:

What do you think about this?

The truth is a broken mirror its true reflection is scattered into pieces. No religion is fully true as they are part of one whole.
In order for us to understand the meaning of life we must draw from each other's wisdom without the presence of anger.

I already put this into the R&S section I just wanted to see what the Philosophy section had to say. Also had someone already come up with something similar?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I definitely think that people should be tolerant of each other's beliefs. Most of the major faiths have the same basic tenets: we believe in a benevolent creator, we believe that you should love & not hurt others, be a good person, live a good life. You can't really go wrong there. The people who get angry, the overzealous fanatics who hate everyone but those who subscribe to their own particular belief system are missing the whole point. God is love. Whether you choose to call him God or Allah or Buddha or Mohammed, He is a supreme being who created us & wants us to love Him & each other & this beautiful world He gave us. It's not complicated. But evil people like to twist holy books & misinterpret them to support their own fiendish ends...

Each religion is just a different path to the same destination. Or pieces of the same mirror as you say. As long as we remember the big picture (God is love) & don't get caught up in the minute details & differences of each religion we should be able to appreciate & respect each other.

It is the same with philosophy. There are myriad ideas, thoughts and theories about the meaning of life, conflicting philosophies about the origin & meaning of all things. But each one is like a different piece of the puzzle. There isn't one perfect & complete answer. You look at all of them as valid viewpoints worthy of respect. You choose what works for you & is closest to your beliefs but you still acknowledge other ideas around you & try not to be hostile with those who disagree.
