My God vs. Your God

Our book speaks about all these conflicts between different religions, and many people wonder if it will ever stop.
The answer... no.
There are so many different religions out there. The main ones that our book looked at were Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. I believe that the conflicts between these religions arise out of fear. Many people often wonder which religion is the "right" religion, and it is this question that brings about controversies. We all, at some level, are seeking eternal salvation, but how is that attained? Then there is the controversy over who are God's chosen.
Chances of things changing are very slim; however, one thing stands a chance in ending it all...
FAITH

My friend has been living in the Dominican Republic for the last nine months in a convent, so of course she has had many religious discussion that she tells me about. A couple of months ago, she was telling me that she and a nun were speaking of religion, and she asked the sister if she was ever worried that everything that she believes in, everything that she has devoted her life to, if the God that she serves does not exist. Her answer.. NO!
She said that she had the utmost faith in her God, that she doesnt even bother worrying about things like that or other religions. But of course, she still respects those of other religions.
So, let me rephrase what will end this fighting amongst religions...
FAITH AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS BELONGING TO DIFFERENT RELIGIONS
