Don't most religions teach
the same things?
Although some religions teach similar concepts, they differ greatly in their worldviews and claims to truth. While murder, rape, stealing and lying are condemned by most religions, there is a great deal of contradiction below the surface. Some religions advocate the sacrifice of children into the fire belly of an idol or hatred and vengeance to enemies, whereas some teach a response of forgiveness and love. Some teach a man that a wife is merely a plaything he owns, while others teach him to honor her as a spiritual equal. Some teach ritual prostitution or multiple wives, while others teach monogamy. Some religions teach ignoring a crippled beggar because he's reaping his karmic debt, while others teach that acts of charity to the needy are rewarded by God.
