Thank you for your post. It reminded me that when I was about 9 yrs old I decided all religions must have the same universal GOD which was LOVE. As kids I think we understand that universal sameness in all of us, in all beings, human and non-human. I lived in Tanzania for over 10 years, I could happily go on and on about my amazing Tanzanian friends, and the random strangers I met there who helped me in times of need. They treated me with love and kindness, and my love for them runs deeply. I believe this is the potential for all people everywhere, if we choose love instead of fear.
