 IN GENERAL
Religion has been
referred to as the “Opium of the Masses.” It has also been said
religion was invented by the rich to keep the poor at bay. Did you know
that there are over 2,000 different religions?
People of course, are
curious. How did we all get here? How did the earth come to be? How can
everything be so perfect? The sun, the moon, the stars, the various
species, gravity, wind and weather, reproduction - - - so much to
ponder. Of course, we want to know the answers - - - there must be a
higher power - - - there has to be a higher intelligence.
In reality though,
the one thing we have learned over the years is that man is territorial.
It seems we feel more comfortable with “our own kind.” In other words,
if you are not of the same race, religion or culture there can be
friction, mistrust, even hatred. As evidence are the Jews and the
Muslims, the Protestants and the Catholics, the Buddhists and the
Hindus, etc. Wars have been fought between nearly all nationalities - -
- the Germans and the French, the Americans and the Japanese, the Surbs
and the Croatians and the list goes on. Even fans supporting opposing
sporting teams show their medieval territorial instincts.
America for instance,
has welcomed and accepted this melting pot and has created laws to
protect all of its citizens. It has not been easy however, because
people still feel more comfortable with people of their own race and
people of similar religions to their own.
The
Religion of Love is universal. It
does not belong to a particular class, race or nation. It transcends
these barriers and joins the entire brotherhood of man. We welcome those
from all religions throughout the world and accept the good in all
religions.
President John
Kennedy stated that, “In the final analysis, man’s most basic common
language is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breath the
same air, we all cherish our children’s future, and we are all mortal.”
