Interfaith Leadership in a Time of Religious Crisis

Director and Founder of Interfaith Youth Core, Dr. Eboo Patel, discusses the idea of pluralistic faith as a foundation for a healthy respectful diverse domestic and international community, and discusses the importance of each individual to speak and act with unification and love rather than drawing distinct borders that foster war and discontent between different cultural identities.

Religion too brings about war as it is perceived differently.

[321lawc]

Religion has to die.

[marsCubed]

As pride fades, people come together in knowledge.

There is no magic bad substance.

Light is measurement. quanta of action; meaning.

Knowledge is action which connects things to each other.

Everything; ideas, self, the other; youtude even, are all one substance.

Discovering it is one reveals religion to be to be ignorance.(absence of this connection).

Religion is the forces of stupid.

It is darkness.

The end of religions in love is return to the garden as gardeners.

Knowing why to forgive all.

[marsCubed]

Religion should be like medicine, It should work to end itself.

religion is the kids still in the nursery, lost, alienated and scared of shadows.

It is the darkness of ignorance.

Religion should work to put people back into harmony with each other so that they do not need it any more.

Worship is a good full life rich with meaning and understanding of purpose.

Religion should work for harmony and it's own ultimate integration into understanding; or it IS the division.

Religion is cultural PRIDE.

[marsCubed]

Europe is not religious in the places which were under the Nazis. They understand what religion is really about.

Religion is the disease, do not make it worse. It is ignorance and division.

The cure is education, knowing that the whole cannot be divided.

The cure is understanding how everything is connected. This is the exact opposite of what religion is.

End religion, weaken the creeps who make money out of suffering and disconnection with the whole.

Religion is the root of evil (ignorance).

[marsCubed]

If God is infinite, then God is everything, or God would be finite.

If God is everything, then the knowledge of the tree is unity in infinity.

Religion puts God on a stick for authority, It is pride; dividing the indivisible; family united against the infinite outside.

With loss of pride comes togetherness in the garden, knowing why to forgive ALL.

Faith is failure in knowing.

Knowledge is light; The presence of connection.

The cure is the true meaning of God.

All is one.

Religion is the sin.
