I enjoyed reading this. Several years ago, I began to read the sacred texts of other faiths, and it has been a most heart-opening experience. I've read the Qur'an through several times now, as well as the wonderful Guru Granth Sahib, and many others. Daily I read the Tao and the Bible. There is so much in common, so much shared, and much to be respected. I so appreciate the incredible sense of respect in your words here--thank you for sharing.
