Parliament Of Religions
** Also posted at the Atheistic Forums & Happy Atheist Forum **

This is interesting ...

The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions

Quote:Our Mission
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions was created to cultivate harmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world.

To accomplish this, we invite individuals and communities who are equally invested in attaining this goal.

Our Vision
The vision of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions is of a just, peaceful and sustainable world in which:

* Religious and spiritual communities live in harmony and contribute to a better world from their riches of wisdom and compassion
* Religious and cultural fears and hatreds are replaced with understanding and respect
* People everywhere come to know and care for their neighbors
* The richness of human and religious diversity is woven into the fabric of communal, civil, societal and global life
* The world's most powerful and influential institutions move beyond narrow self-interest to realize common good
* The Earth and all life are cherished, protected, healed and restored
* All people commit to living out their highest values and aspirations

... will this help or hinder globally (from our POV)?

HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
