Lack of knowledge, is lack of understanding; lack of understanding, or misunderstanding, in ALL respects, on ALL sides, IS what divides the peoples of this Earth! Add to lack of understanding, or misunderstanding, passion, and you have opposition TO LOVE, thus, the negatives we witness day to day!!!
Religion is different than WORSHIP, albeit integrated into WORSHIP, and HAS created all sorts of problems in this world, as human understanding, doctrines, precepts, and so forth, cause shifts away from the intentions of THE WORD! Add to this that fact that many religions are premised on THE OLD WAY, void of the understanding of THE NEW WAY, and you, of course, are going to see vast divisions, as BOTH comprise THE WHOLE!!!
Listen, LOVE IS THE ANSWER, and understanding IS that which leads us to LOVE! We shouldn't hate based on what we don't know, or understand! We should seek to understand, and share understanding! We should be seeking ways to MAKE, in the LOVE of *GOD*, an effort for ALL to reach an appreciative understanding of what each believes in, and ascribes to, WHILE sharing the FULLNESS of the rest of THE WAY, THAT there is room for increased consideration, even acceptance of the differences that separate, and divide us: this is true in shared religions/denominations, and those of other religions...
There NEEDS to be IN LOVE, acceptance, tolerance, and above all, understanding, in order for *GOD* to be GLORIFIED in the ways HE deserves, and COMMANDS! UNTIL people are willing to have honest, open dialogue, and consideration concerning *GOD*, and beliefs, the very goodness that comes from ONENESS WITH *GOD*, cannot be realized...
It is sad that NOTHING can alter the perfection of *GOD'S* CREATION, except for the wrongness of our ways! ALL else in CREATION works together, in harmony, and JOY for the good of existence!!!
Let us PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY, both for the innocent, and those who are on the other end. May *GOD* BE WITH US ALL, and may we realize the depth, breadth, and height of LOVE, then LIVE IN LOVE, that HE IS HONOURED, and that the PEACE of HIS LOVE is manifest forevermore...

There is but ONE MIGHTY thread of TRUTH that CAN hold us together~~~ *GOD*, therefore, LOVE!!!
Should I take it upon myself to condemn a person for what they were raised to believe? NO WAY!!
Instead, I should try to understand what they believe, and then, help them to understand how I was raised, and share what *GOD* has put into me! I can't hate a person for the ways they were raised, for I have not lived in the ways of their traditions, beliefs, and other matters! I can attempt to find commonness through understanding with them, and develop a relationship of growth, IF both of us are willing to put differences aside, and live IN LOVE..
We have SO much more in common than we imagine...
As long as hate exists, especially premised on lack of knowledge, and understanding, LOVE remains beyond us, thus, TRUE DEVOTION does, as well...
And at ALL times, we PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, for PRAYER IS POWERFUL, and invokes THE ONE LIVING *GOD* IN ALL HIS MIGHT, to protect us, comfort us, heal us, provide for us, LIFT us, grant us understanding, and enable us to do what is right IN HIS SIGHT ALWAYS, as well as for the good of ALL!!!
We MUST NEVER forget, some things are the way they are FOR HIS WILL to be done, and complete~!!!
