In reply to Love And Logic Can Unify Religions, posted by PeaceSeeker on May 15, 2008, at 17:39:07
I believe that in order to explore the nature of individual and collective values and beliefs and find the unifying bond therein there has to be a commonality amongst Judeo-Christian and Muslim principles. This is already the case; the three major religions hold to a monotheistic guide of the universe. The further unifier could be entertaining the possibility of both a historical man named Jesus...and a Divinely appointed one". By giving credence and equal validity to each perspective, some harmony in the varying faiths could be accomplished. A dermatologist in Iraq believes that the Urantia "United" Book could be the initial starting point in this process. He informed me that he has downloaded it from http://urantia.us had several books printed at his own expense and has anonymously distributed them to his English-speaking colleagues there and dialogue is promising. The beauty of the Urantia United book is that it is condensed into 641 pages; it has edited out politically incorrect phrasing, and it analyses Jesus in the historical and divine perspective.
Your thoughts thereon are greatly appreciated.
