"Those that hate now join us not after the Sixth has commeth" -Rude Boy 4:20
“Think of the religions of the world as languages. What is the essence of all languages? Communication. Different words, grammar, etc. One goal. Each language is a product of unique history, culture, etc. Different paths to the same destination. Apply this to religion. What is the essence of all religions? Communion with the Divine. Different rituals, practices, etc. One goal. Each religion is the product of unique history, culture, etc. Different paths with the same destination. Thus, to say that one religion is the “correct” or “only true” one is as foolish as saying French is the only true language. The Divine goes by many names, and is perceived through the lens of many cultures and peoples.
The apparent differences come not from the unchangeable Divine, but from duality inherent to us." -"Nerdy" Nathan Fostey
