the world has had countless wars based solely on difference of religion...and many of these wars happened due to the lack of respect and understanding of others and their beliefs. many people wonder why Muslims allow polygamy as part of their religion, or why Hindus believe in a caste system..all one needs to do is look at the history of these religions to find that the answer lies in the fact that these things are a form of situational religious practices...back in the early days, Muslim villages had very few men in ratio to the number of women..so in order to provide care to these women, men had 3 or 4 wives...time moves on and culture blends with religion to create the misconception that we all see...Hindu's face a similar situation...the Aryan race viewed themselves as greater than the non-Aryans...hence they created the caste system depending upon the individuals closeness, ancestrally, to the Aryan race...again culture merged with religion and the caste system became confused with Hinduism...
the bottom line is that all religions share the same values and beliefs, specifically about loving one another, its only the cultural situations that alter religious beliefs...LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL
