Kala and the carvings on a keris hilt

[A. G. Maisey]

The thing that gets me about the all faiths of The Book is that at their core they are are all the same, all worship the same One God, and at their absolute root all come from the same source, but all the variations seem to believe that their own interpretation is the only correct one.

One God, but many interpretations, and the interpretations are from Man, not from God.

Then if we factor in the Hindu faith we find that once again we only have one Supreme Being, or one God with a capital "G":- Ishvara.

The multitude of deities being no more than aspects of Ishvara.

I reckon God must cry sometimes to see the mess that His creation, Man has made of things.

I absolutely agreed with you Alan. I do sometimes think of these issues as well and why mankind loves to create complications.

Anthony, I feel that it is rather that man loves power, certainly the gaining and retention of that power will create complication.
