edit....in case the post is cryptic, I just got back from the U2 concert in Boston. Bono wore a headband with this graphic, and the image was in the video screens above the stage.

Peace.

5. Those are the three that can't seem

to get along. The Holy Trinity????

6. These three religions father is Abraham

in other words they are family!!!

But that leaves us to the Cain & Abel story!!!

Sibling rivalry is ugly!!!

7. The seeds of Abraham were Mohammed and Jesus

Probably the first true classist division in the world. Abraham's seed from his wife bore Jesus. Abraham and the handmaid of his wife bore Mohammed.

8. Yup, they are all fighting about the

same God.

9. Things might have been more peaceful if ol' Abe hadn't slept around.

11. Very true

Abraham is the direct ancestor of both Jesus and Mohammed. One child he had with his wife, the other child with the maid of his wife. Yeah, the ME never was as puritanical as here. Interesting. Two religious leaders borne from a man with his wife and another. Interesting.

10. Eh, you kinda forgot about Moses.

The decendents of Abraham belong to the three Abrahamic religions of today, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It seems odd that religions that share common beliefs should always be at war with each other.

12. My biggest horror was W's bombing of the cradle of humanity

He bombed every area treasured by the Quran and the Bible. He bombed the buildings and the people. I guess he said the hell to the cradle of civilization, we want that oil. And he destroyed centuries old buildings. Some may forgive him. I can't.

13. Not odd at all

All are based on fundie "holier than thou" puritanicalism. Crazy me-firsters who believe that sky demons will back up their side in whatever jihad or crusade they launch. Fratricide is embedded in their creation myth and subsequent practice.
