What if: religion united instead of divided people? (Peter @ Field)

“What if… ?” is about asking some simple questions without simple answers. This week, we’ll take on a question that is historically more likely to start a war than bring peace. There’s Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, even Zoroastrianism. And then there’s Christianity with Catholics and Protestants and Orthodox and Evangelicals. And within all of these, there are the sub-divisions and the sub-divisions of the sub-divisions. Is this really what God had in mind? Maybe. But if so, why are we seemingly incapable of being drawn together and work so hard to stay divided? God teaches love, kindness and forgiveness. So why do some people believe their religion is the one and only? Let’s come together and challenge ourselves by asking some of these questions.
