Religion

We still argue controversially about this topic; how my religion is better than yours? We argue about the history of these religions, the accuracy and whatnot, to the point where we are left in bloodshed.

But it goes without doubt to say that the fundamental values that all religions hold is identical to one another. Maybe a few slight variations, but all religious values look to the betterment of one another. To be honest, I know extremely little of Hinduism, what should be my faith; but I do know that it shares two things with most others:

  1. The belief that humans are subordinate to some unknown figure.
  2. To hold one's actions to a high standard for the benefit of oneself, as well the community.
What is the difference between Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Zoroastrianism? The histories maybe...fundamentally, nothing.

Don't even get me started on the concept of missionaries...
