The state of religions in the world today

If you were to believe the preaching of the TV evangelists, everything is fine in the world of religion, except for possibly the existence of evil in the world. Christianity, for example, has all the answers, or so they say.

But I would raise the following questions:

  1. If our religions really had all the answers, then why are we in such bad shape today? Why haven't we made more progress in spiritual development or social cohesion?
  2. Why do the western monotheisms still embody violence traditions, either overtly or covertly?
  3. Why is the Judeo-Christian tradition so ineffective in teaching us how to live?
These are the kinds of questions I will explore in this blog. These are my questions, my answers (for the moment), and my opinions.

If you find these questions and potential answers interesting and useful, then please join in the discussion. Otherwise, kindly jump to this location.
