Messages to our Abrahamic Religions

I have this message for the followers of Judaism:

            Please understand that there is no divinity which gave your tribe chosen status, superior to all other races and religions. Please understand that there is no divinity which gave your people the right to occupy a certain piece of land on planet earth. Your religion had no right to take away land and homes belonging to other humans. Please understand that further Israeli violence directed toward those Palestinians whom you robbed of their possessions and homes, will only harden their hatred of your people, religion and State. Please understand that your only avenue toward becoming a superior people is to demonstrate superior ethical behavior, showing deep respect for all other humans, as an example for all the rest of us to follow.

I have this message for the followers of Christianity:

            Please understand that your hero, Jesus, was not a divinity on Earth. Please understand that Jesus was a human who preached compassion, as well as punishment and torturous deaths for those who did not believe in him as the Messiah of Judaism. Please understand that you have no right to express violence toward other humans just because they follow a different religious faith. Please understand that you have no right to force your religion on other people, lands and cultures. Please understand that all humans around the planet Earth are now your neighbors. Please understand that  your only goal, in dealing with your neighbors, should be to follow that golden rule taught you by your prophet, Jesus: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I have this message for the followers of Islam:

            Please understand that your prophet, Muhammad, taught compassion toward, as well as violence toward, other humans. Please understand that your god, Allah, does not care whether other people have your religious faiths, or not. Please understand that all other peoples and religions have just as much right to have their beliefs as you do to have yours. Please understand that further violence from followers of Islam will only result in further hatred and resentment directed toward your religion. Please understand that your goal should always be to follow those admonishments of your prophet, Muhammad, to take care of the widow, the cripple, the lame, the poor, the ill and the orphan, showing compassion toward all other humans, and all other life.

            Blessings upon each of you, as we all, individual, unequal humans of every description and belief, express our needs for life, liberty, and fulfillment.
