Davos Annual Meeting 2008 - Faith and Modernization

http://www.weforum.org/

25.01.2008

Faith is playing an increasingly influential role in this century's political, economic and social landscape, while intercultural divides are diverting valuable resources away from addressing the pressing global issues of today.

Are the religious mores of faith-based societies an impediment to, or an asset to, social progress, political order and economic development? What prospects exist for collaboration between the West and the Islamic world on fulfilling the economic agenda of the Makkah Declaration of the Organization of the Islamic Conference?

Rick Warren is working for the New World Order.

No question about it.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. This religious mixture shown above is a religion of man worshiping man in the image of how they want to see themselves. In truth, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. A price had to be paid for our transgressions, and Jesus, God's own son, gave His life to bear the punishment for our sins.

Religion is man's ways. Jesus is the way to God.

In order to make religions work together-you have to marginalise those who really believe their religion is the truth. Get ready for persecution from those who really do not agree with your faith-inside your own faith identities.

BenitoSD,As a Muslim I have to respectfully disagree with your stance that religion is an insult to the human dignity. 99% of Muslims do great deeds, as in other religions, it is only that 1% that is on TV.

[sarmalim]

respectfully disagree with your statement which could be a personal perspective from your vintage point
