Too many wars have been fought over who’s translation of which holy book makes them the chosen people.
I say, toss the books- live the similarities.
Don’t kill anyone.
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Be willing to accept the consequences of your own actions.
And above all, Cultivate common sense.
Try that one on for size.
Imagine a world where everyone is so busy making sure they are living up to their own standards, they no longer have time to persecute those around them based on lifestyle.

Line One, tick; Line Two, tick … I find myself in total agreement while also minding my own backyard, and removing the plank from my eye. 🙂

It’s a modern day transportation of a quote from the Buddha, Believe nothing No matter who has said it or where you read it not even if I have said it unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

I agree. All religions claim to be religions of peace and yet are responsible for quite shocking violence.
