Among other things...Islam teaches "Allah is merciful and compassionate ", Christianity teaches "Do good to those who would hurt you",
Judaism teaches "Do not return evil for evil" .

Saturday has come and gone, there has been no word from the islamic hostage takers or the christian hostages .......

The silence is deafening....
i wonder if the days will ever come when we each recognize our commonalities rather than our
differences ? It's not as if there will be no further work to be done ...

I have decided today to forgive God, for allowing us to be so often barbaric to each other .
I dont think that will make a difference to God..
but it makes a difference to me.
