Monotheistic religion starts at the core wherein One God created the world and its people because He loved them! Polytheistic religions also have love at their core. AD 60 or 70 first known Christian writings 1600's Christian Bible, King James time Before that is Pagan Nature Worship

Judaism The Mitzvah—God blesses every good deed Thousands of years old God Yahweh made a covenant with Abraham that if Abraham and his people the Hebrews Obey Him, He'd consider 'em, His chosen people, watch over 'em God sent the Hebrew to kill their enemies sparing not man, woman, child or even the suckling babe On the other hand, God said He would protect Isreal so long as they, shed no innocent blood upon their land Caninities’ (Palestinian) today He will not abide by the killing of innocence He shall not protect Israel, they, on their own (Jeremiah 7:6,7) If you ask God, why He turned His back on Abraham's people, it’ll take a genuine prophet to interpret Islam Allah—The One and only God—Allah is good Bear witness to One God, Muhammad is the messenger , God is great Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham Moses, David and Jesus Peace be upon 'em all However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims have different concepts call of the Almighty God Christianity Over 2000 years old intact There are more Christian sects then you can shake a stick at Buddhism The Buddha sits under a bode tree, Flowering vines entwined Him On them, strewn were strange jewels Of gold -n- silver, lapis lazuli Agate, cornelian, coral -n- amber Leaves from its branches Shone a bright light the way of peace Surrounded also the swirling forces of greed, tempest of evil intent desires source of all suffering with meditation He extinguishes these desires and its fiery flames What remains, pure ecstatic bliss of endless inextinguishable love Hinduism Lord Krishna 8th avatar of Vishnu Vishnu being less charismatic, Yajna yet most powerful Yajna The oldest religion on Earth! Protecting the world from evil's prances Supreme God save us from the upheaval Whilst playing His flute -n- dances Krishna’s blue complexion is the infinite expanse of the sky the vastness of the ocean His dance is lifeforce motion, constant change -n- flux The vital joyous force, casting off our collective part of painful illusion, sweeping us ever onward eternal journeys Higher planes Nirvana A Realization is with me from my deepest self I reveal an emotional rapture beknownst it be Enamored in love is how I truly feel of the combined sacred oneness Emotions unfurled Respect, charity, and the loveliness, for God and his creations and appreciation 'Tis is common in the world religions 'Tis the common essence Shared are His values when in His presence Realization from my deepest self I reveal Enamored in love is how I truly feel a strong sense of collectiveness felt with all things to be continued

Anaya, Interesting summary of different faiths. I think you are right to celebrate all religions. Religion has a rich history and it is indeed interesting how they have different origin stories. Hopefully, we can all coexist in peace as any one in particular is not better than any other. Anyway, take care and glad you are well.

In theology we can learn where the religions derived from or where they began. We can admire eachother from afar as I do, my poet friend. Thank you for trying to understand my work, you are so much appreciated, more than you know, Duke, take care ~ I'm well!

Once I tried to read all the religious booksn from different religions. All the religions talk about the peace and love for humanity and respectful coexistence. Our own greed and self ego creates all the divisions and conflicts. You opened a deep understanding of different religions. Thank You.

The book "The World Religions" by Houston Smith is my favorite, Jay /\ The 10 major religions in the world, their origins, beliefs, and followers. it explores the sacred texts, philosophies, and historical contributions of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and more. TY!

It's difficult for me to finish it Ink Empress, I wanted it more flowery and so I haven't submitted it yet. I think the images are too big and hence the 500 error page. Ty for stopping by always curious for your thoughts. You have changed the site, made the bitter better, and the nice sweeter! Ty!

Wow you sure have made a deep study of religion! Very impressive and informative! I love that you approach this question logically and emotionally... there should be a balance i think. Good luck in the contest! Xoxo <3

It's not hard to discern why God has turned his back on Israel. They rejected his son, their Messiah. They still do - Mathew 23:37-39. As far as the OT, Israel had to produce the Messiah. Therefore it had to survive amidst its enemies. As for Christian sects you make a valid point. However, all the sects belonging to Christendom will not survive into the new world. There will be one government, one religion, one brotherhood of man
