Default Waves on an ocean

One God, why so many religions?


One Rainbow, many colors
One Ocean, many waves
One Tree, many branches
One Life, many lives
One Road, many directions
One Reality, many Pov's
One Meal, many foods
One Dream, many dreamers
One Word, many writers
One Instrument, many musicians

Why is it that the different instruments can't play together instead of trying to be the only instrument playing music, it gets lonely if only a clarinet is playing doesn't it?

Playing in harmony makes music, lets make music together.

You always stand in the middle no?

Forward and backward, no matter where you are.
3 points, the past, the future and where you are Now

um, a finger pointing at one hand clapping. and stuff.

>shrug<

Some people are into solos. Some people aren't. Some people like some of both solo and orchestra. Some people don't.

Even if we're all playing the same instrument, most people can't agree on the song or style of music they want to play. The ability of different persons to access different levels of playing skill is also not consistent.

Thus there is great potential for conflict and disharmony.

I would also suggest that there is no particular evidence that there is only one---or any---god. Which potentially changes the question quite a bit too....

We are all individuals. Not just clones. We can make our own decisions. Some choose to follow the masses. Some don't.

That's the stuff you get to hear from those Satan-worshippers who call themselves Christians!

Corrected: straight and narrow is the path that leadeth to hell, but wide is the road that leadeth to righteousness...
