'The Faith Club'

Religion and True Religious Teachings have nothing to do with what has been going on in this World. Niether does the use of false religious idelogies Justify the destructive actions of us human's on our fellow human. Man uses religion as one of our means to gaining the most nonreligious goals, power, wealth, control. So let the moderate voices of those who carry and give life to man be heard as they struggle to find their own answers and direction and as they find the Common Ground that has always existed.

What is 'The Faith Club'
Three very intelligent young ladies accidently joining the ranks of 'The Focus Groups' finding the knowledge about each others beliefs and ideologies behind those beliefs, finding common ground and knowledge!

These are the voices that should be heard, not only here but in the other regions of the World, especially the Middle East.

There are already many Moderate Voices within those regions but they are kept silent by the radicalism found on all sides.

ABOUT THE BOOK

“Welcome to the Faith Club. We’re three mothers from three faiths—Islam, Christianity, and Judaism—who got together to write a picture book for our children that would highlight the connections between our religions. But no sooner had we started talking about our beliefs and how to explain them to our children than our differences led to misunderstandings. Our project nearly fell apart.”

There are a number of people, from all sides, especially in The Middle East, that are talking to each other, interacting with each other, wanting to live peaceful lives. Many of us know many of them as we try and work with them and keep their plight in the forefront, but like them we are now just considered 'Focus Groups' not to be listened to. Trouble is all these 'Focus Groups' have found, Sadly, we're very often Right as to our beliefs and our knowledge, especially when brought together collectively and voiced as one voice. The only way to Strength is in Greater Numbers with a Louder Voice to be heard over the voices of the past Ideologies of Fascism-Refined to modern thought/propaganda, the Extremism of the Radical Right or the Left, the Extremism of the Ideologies of Fundamentalism, the Re-Writing of Religious Ideologies to fit the Minority Groups that Preach Them!

Only by the people coming together can these destructive forces be brought to reign and some sense of stability be brought forward, saving lives and senses!
