    Thats impossible. And that could only be possible if fire and water could unite! LOL
    The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.

    We have seen that religions have more often than not become divisive forces.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    The first step in unifying the various creeds is for each to abolish the word "heretic" from their religious vocabulary.
    The second step is for them to accept that each sect follows only one possible interpretation, and that each may contain as much truth as any other.
    Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

    In unification of all religions, we will have more things to discard.

    They are united now. In believing that their lot are right and the other lot wrong.

    Ah, but Yahweh, Allah, and the Ancient of Days are not the same God, at least not when viewed from here. God made us in His image, but we've turned the telescope around, and have made God in our own image. Tiny. Mean-spirited. Jealous. Stingy. Fragmented.

    Peter saw a sheet filled with unclean things lowered from heaven. He received a lesson, not only on the old dietary laws, but on how to regard his fellows. Jesus gave us the same lesson by keeping company with, and dining with, publicans and sinners. There are Christians, Muslims, and Jews, who have no tolerance for their fellows. They regard them as unclean, infidels, heathens. They mock them, despise them. And they think God approves.

    The day Zechariah speaks of will come, but it won't look the way we imagine it. It'll be the way God imagines it.

    Amen, Brother!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Peace to you!

    Say, O people of the Book! come to a word equal between us and you -- that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partner with Him, and that some of us take not others for Lords beside Allah.
    But if they turn away, then say, Bear witness that we have submitted (to God) [ Quran chapter 3, verse 65 ]

    Study of the books that claim to be of divine origin shows contradictions not only in the peripheral areas of their teachings, but also in the areas of basic beliefs. This could not be so had they originated from the same eternal source of light. The case in point can well be illustrated by the fact that many such books contain passages which are interpreted by their followers to lead to the belief in lesser deities sharing divinity with the one Supreme Being. In some books, God is presented as the head of a family of gods, having spouses, sons and daughters. In some other books, saintly human figures are attributed with such superhuman powers as are only befitting to be possessed by God. In other books the Unity of God is stressed so strongly and uncompromisingly as to leave no room for anyone to share God's attributes in whatsoever capacity. The Quran stands out in this respect among all the scriptures of the major world religions.

    Fourth Ahmadiyya Caliph said that Quran resolve this dilemma. He said:
    According to Quran, people gradually interpolate the divine teachings. Change the concept of Unity to polytheism is one example.Tracing the history of change in a Books is possible but can be very laborious job.

    Believers always clash because of ideological differences

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
