What Interfaith Means to Me

From the article:

I belong to the local Interfaith Council. I deeply believe in interfaith unity. I believe all our religions have something in common despite our differences. We all strive for the common good, and for some small way to contribute to this earth. We share a brotherhood, that we are all human beings. When we feel that we are better than others due to our faith, major conflicts come in. This has created wars and persecution. Let God be the judge. Let us feel and tolerate, practice compassion and empathy. We should try to learn what we don’t know about the other.

I would extend that unity to all, not just believers.

Every person has his own individual path to God, and each of us must find our way back to God. God sends many tests in life so that we will search and find him. We wonder why there is so much evil in the world. But man has chosen this, because this is the consequence and our disobedience to God. Man is responsible for the evil in this earth, not God, because we have free will and we have strayed so far. Many suffer from wars and famines, and persecution because of these evils.

This is a toxic philosophy and should be tossed in the dustbin of "Humanity's Worst Ideas."

could be part of it, but not really, right?

Kind of like the non-denominational churches. I mean, you have to believe in Jesus as son of god to actually get anything out of it, but the name sounds all inviting.
