I'm very wary of large groups of people getting together and trying to believe the same thing. It never seems to end well, whether it's political or religious or whatever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe the world is increasingly in danger of becoming split into groups which cannot communicate with each other, which no longer think of each other as members of the same species.
I believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and increase until it makes life safe and sane, we must also be certain that there is no one true faith or path by which it may spread.
People have a lot of different beliefs, and at the end of the day, we all have deeply held beliefs that probably don't make sense to anyone else.
There really have only ever been a few people in each generation who step out, are willing to put themselves on the line, and risk everything for their beliefs.
I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality.
The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.
The only thing that permits human beings to collaborate with one another in a truly open-ended way is their willingness to have their beliefs modified by new facts. Only openness to evidence and argument will secure a common world for us.
I have a sneaking suspicion that all religions lead to the same place, a very unified place.
I do believe in the potential of like-minded people coming together.
We need to stay together, to spread the truth like religion. It's a lonely, scary road, and we've got to walk it together.
