2012 - Science Or Superstition?/RB/2

There is a rift between East and West that is increasing at exponential speed. I see it every day. I'm living in the middle east and I see it growing every day. It's based on a total misunderstanding of each other. And this misunderstanding stems from the way that we have developed our cultures. We do not use the common denominators anymore. Ultimately, we're all children of this planet, we belong to the same planet. What we have done is segregate this, we've separated these beliefs through religious orders, though nationalistic orders. We're in dire need of a message; we need a visionary who will make us see things in the right way, we need to realign ourselves into a common theme. We need to remove the differences between us. We need to remove the strong religious rifts. We need to remind ourselves that even if we are to have religion, that it springs from the same source - which is ironic because the three major semitic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are literally from the same source - the Old Testament. And yet, we've slaughtered each other for centuries. Why? Because we've taken that common denominator and isolated it to create different power bases. Somehow we need to realign all this.
