What do you like about this subject?
There is growing curiosity about world religions. I believe that accurate information can combat unfortunate stereotypes and will open dialogue between people of great world religions.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I wish to learn more about what question arise in the minds of people regarding world religions and their sacred observance.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
The moon and the sun are basic to calendars. Each religion deals with these familiar objects in a unique manner - and have done so for thousands of years.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
Does it just confuse people to know about religions other than their own? Will people inevitably just argue or is mutual understanding possible?
