The entire conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world can be summed up to the answer of this question: Who are the children of God?
The Jew, Arab, and Christian (we can include all the other sects worldwide) believe that he or she has the one true religion. Therefore, each of them believe that he or she is the true child of God. As such, they fight and kill each other for the sake of their religion. Unfortuantely, they fail to see the grand scale of the universe or the cosmos, and even the infinite other universes that may exist. In short, they fail to understand the meaning of the Sermon on the Mount: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "do.rflex" <do.rf...@...> wrote: > > > > The fate of the Jews: > > Uri Avnery, is the leader of Gush Shalom, an Israeli peace group.
