Just working through a pretty cool book - Life of Pi. Amazing book about the devotion of a boy to God. In the novel, the boy studies Islam, Hindu, and Christianity in his attempt to love God. Obviously, none of his religious teachers were very happy when they learned that he was studying with the other religions. With the same God as the root between all 4 major religions including Judaism, why is there no connection between different religions? Looking back at college, I think the cirriculum for politics and religion within the liberal arts cirriculum was almost a waste of time. It was limited to judeo christian values. However, it would be very difficult to integrate the individualism of these religions with the marxist like brotherhood of Islam. People get very nervous when you start talking about unity and brotherhood. I can hang in there with writers like Dan Millman until the inevitable discussion on unity. As a person that doesn't understand a simple blessing from a last rite, there is no way I can comprehend the vision of universal brotherhood. This is kind of the part of spirtualism that sinks the ship. I have no intention of connecting myself to the brotherhood of man who is individually responsible for their own destiny.
