The Golden Rule

This area covers the main religion religions - the golden rule

s, their basic beliefs and practices but most profoundly research showed that almost all beliefs contained the Golden Rule. You remember the Golden Rule I bet, where it said do unto others as you would want them to do unto you? What's amazing is that we find these exact same belief systems arguing and even fighting to a bloody death and yet here in resides the golden rule in each of their beliefs. Never the less I found it quite stimulating how the differing beliefs stated the golden rule in their own rules, now I'd like to invite you to have a read too. Lastly, I found a quite interesting piece of writing concerning the differences between Christian and Muslim believers, click here to read more.

Here we see a composition of writings in which each of them is similar within the area of the "Golden Rule" or some aspect therein. It is painful to see different religions and beliefs hurting one another, or speaking of how other believers are going to hell when indeed at the very root of all these beliefs lies a consistent and caring message; The Golden Rule.
