RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS; THE THREE BATTLES

Three of the great Monotheistic Religions of the World: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are,in this present 21st Century in conflict,although there have been times when they were in harmony. But within each of these Great Religions there have been conflicts, schisms, and problems that perhaps have never been resolved and never will be. Those who embrace these Religions usually have a strong emotional base and from their intellectual standpoint(s) consider themselves right, justified in their beliefs and actions, and those who do not agree with them as 'The Enemy' or wrong,evil,etc. An admiration of these Great Religions need not be considered an endorsement or acceptance of them on each and every level or on any level except the historical/geographical area, perhaps. The old theosophical notion of THERE IS NO RELIGION HIGHER THAN TRUTH perhaps best sums up the whole affair, but,unfortunately, some religions believe they are,indeed, higher than TRUTH!
