I concluded that all religions had the same foundation - a belief in the supernatural - a power above nature that man could influence by worship - by sacrifice and prayer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Various religious systems have been given to humanity at different times, each suited to meet the spiritual needs of the people among whom it was promulgated, and, coming from the same divine source: - God, all religions exhibit similar fundamentals or first principles.
In every religion there is an element of the supernatural, varying with the influence of pure reason over its devotees.
The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.
Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds.
I think all religions can agree on certain definitions of God and concepts of God, like God being the god of love, the great 'I am' energy.
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.
Most religions live from a narrative that shapes their relationship with the divine other, God or the gods, and with the human other, the stranger.
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.
Religion of any form is a sacred matter. It involves the relation of the individual to some Being believed to be infinitely supreme. It involves not merely character and life here, but destiny hereafter, and as such is not to be spoken of lightly or flippantly.
The foundation of our religion is a basis of fact - the fact of the birth, ministry, miracles, death, resurrection by the Evangelists as having actually occurred, within their own personal knowledge.
