Of the Ilk of the 'Wiseman'

Those who would burn a Talmud Bible or Koran are of the ilk of the 'wiseman' who says 'Religion is fine as long as it's mine and those who disagree are no better than swine

I agree with your sentiments..sad some thunk it's ok to do that...I went to Jerusalem and saw the three religions side by side...an interesting and educational experience

To be honest all I saw was apartheid and injustice.. With many Muslims and Christians not allowed into Jerusalem... how sad people cannot live together in peace.

You saw relative peace. Woe to us if Jerusalem falls into Arab Muslim hands, where all Jews will be banned from the Old City, as was the situation from 1948-1967 when the 'moderate' government of the Kingdom of Jordan had control. But this time will be much worse!

Simply but well-said Gershon. Each person has to find their own spiritual way--no religion is better or worse than the other. I've learned to respect each person's soul-filled journey. Enjoy Labor Day, Sara

I'm with you 110%, Sara. Respect every one's religion. Respect the differences. Revel in the human commonality, and encourage one and all to reach their maximum potential! Thanks, gw

Very well said, Gershon! Enjoy the Labor day. An attraction here in Col Springs is a balloon festival with hundreds of colorful balloons, some of which fly directly over my house.
