Unity of religions

I think calls for "unity of religions" are actually calls for unity among followers of different religions. This is a very sensible and cultured call. It might not have meant that all religions (religious teachings) be mixed up and a potpourri of a single religion be served. This is neither practical nor wise. Each religion is unique and the uniqueness of each religion must be left intact for the world to benefit by much variety in approaches to God or Divinity.

[My comment is a response to the article which rubbished the idea of "unity of religions"]

One God

vark230 commented: "Interesting... why the only accepting only one god exist...become less then total?.so how much is the total? 2? 3? 4? or infinite number?accepting only one God exist show the total God is one. not more and not less...may be in Islam the number of God is only one, still the greatness and it divine is infinite....so how much God do your think is needed to created you?if more then one....so the first god can't perform his creation by it self....so it lack of power here that make ur god need an inforcement...."

K.Venugopal: The error, according to me, is not in the statement that there is only one God, but in the Islamic belief that God and creation are separate. This means that so long as creation exists, God becomes less than the total - because what exists then is God + creation.

slamDawah commented: "This shows the lack of Faith in your own religion. On my channel the majority of articles are on Islam and some on comparative study. You have one and that is against Islam. This itself shows the power of Islam that it has on all, believers and non believers.Your contention is wrong. Allah is unique and unlike His creation. Before creation he was alone, ever-persisting. Then He created the creation. Do you think His creation is within Himself or Ouside Him. Well the creation is outside Him and He is not mixed with the creation. He cannot be confined and mixed with His creation and He is unique. The Creator would not confine himself within a creation otherwise He would be a part of Creation then. But God is not a created thing. Your's is an absurd theory of the Creator mixed and mingled with the creation. This your Hindu mythology and other pagan religion."

K.Venugopal: If you posit a creator by labeling existence as creation on the premises that everything that exists needs to have a creator, who created God? Simply because you are unable to answer the question, you say that God cannot have a creator because God has always existed. Then why can't the same logic be applied to existence? Why can't it always have existed, without needing a creator?

IslamDawah: Even science has some answers to the beginning of the Universe. It is finite and not infinite. It has a beginning and is probably going towards its end by seeing the demise of so many galaxies and stars and planet, by just vanishing into the black hole. Hence even science says that the creation has a beginning and a start date. That does not apply to God. He has existed always and shall for ever.


K.Venugopal: You say, in the name of science, that the universe has a beginning and a end. Because you do not include God when you say universe, you conveniently leave God out of this law of beginning and end. Of course you have to, only then will the universe become a creation and thereby require a creator. But if you have a word that includes everything, and I find the word existence useful, then what?
