Life Is Made Of Glass

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

All, if not most, religions share a common philosophy at the core of its existence, designed to maintain a sense of harmony between people, no matter their cultural background, lifestyle or upbringing.

It’s really simple, respect others and you will in turn get the same respect.

Buddhism
Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

Christianity
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Confucianism
Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.

Hinduism
One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self.

Islam
Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.

Judaism
The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself.

Taoism
Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss.

Thelema
Love is the law, love under will.

Wicca (Wiccan Rede)
An ye harm none, do what ye will.

Life is made of glass, it’s fragile, the human race don’t need religious based conflicts and wars on top of that as well.

God made it that way!

The answer a student wrote on his physics answer paper:

god_made_it_that_way

I find this answer very interesting, you can answer any question in the world using this answer and yet when somebody objects to your answer, that person (assuming that person is very religious), will take it as an attack on “his” religion.

There’s a saying that goes something in the line of, what science can’t explain, is religion.

I believe science and spirituality goes hand in hand, especially when you have some background in physics (especially quantum). The more I study quantum physics, the more it interconnects with spirituality and contradict religions in general. Orthodox religions contradict each other anyway whereas their mystical meanings tie in perfectly with each other as well as spirituality and science (mystical for example: Christianity -> Gnosticism, Jewish -> Kabbalah, Judaism -> Hasidism, Islam -> Sufism etc etc etc).

Not trying to make a point or anything, just thought the answer on the physics paper should make for an interesting topic of discussion.
