for people to get along better if they just had a better understanding of each others beliefs?
i am not saying anyone would have to convert or even agree with those beliefs but only understood them better.

There would be people getting along If they put aside there beliefs. And only Loved.
When people came to Jesus , to be healed or to even talk with him, he did not say " wait, first tell me what you believe, i want to discuss with you our beliefs while you wait in agony."
instead he healed them.
or so is said in his story.
If we approached all, without hesitation nor fear, and just with open arms of acceptance, there would be no division.
For the one whom comes to another with fear, gives fear.
Yet the one whom comes with love, gives love.

Evolutionary Track
Aside from the occasional trysts with fate and the serendipitous encounters with fortune, I'd say that I have stayed pretty much on the same path as most humans. It seems that my destiny may be aligned with that of most mortals, who by the way, during my latest journey, I had learned much from. What I hope they have learned from me is the sanctity of Love, Understanding, Good Will and of course, the most difficult for those of flesh and blood - Forgiveness.
As it is with most of my stays here, I'm not in the position to criticize nor challenge although what I see at times provides me impetus to offer what I'd been given - Reason. Just as I had written not so long ago:
I have Reason, I have Rhyme
Pondering my thoughts,
Throughout the eons of time
Many times we are posed a question, so simple yet the most difficult to answer: Why am I here? Ah, because you belong. Simple enough an answer and it really needs no further explanation . . .
You know, I rely on you as much as you rely on me and the symbiotic nature of our relationship provides the universe with balance, although at times, it may not appear to be so . . .
Life to me, an open book
with each page, I learn something new
Yet, I await the final
the most revealing clue
Perhaps, when our fates are decided, would we learn the truth . . . eternity it beckons, so I had heard as I stood sentry-like against the winds of time . . .
Far in the distance, perhaps another void
a place where my existence
can never be destroyed

i have found that i respect many more religions when they simply " share " their beliefs
but some people cannot see the difference between sharing and forcing
i wish they could do , then many more would be willing to listen
and even if they do not wish to be part of it , they would at least have better respect for it

Yes I think so. But the learning would have to take place with a non-judgmental attitude, needless to say.

I doubt clarity of understanding will help at all.
There is but one true God, and salvation of your eternal soul thru His Son, Jesus.
All else is the pursuit and worship of false gods (greed, lust, power, fame, allah, etc). All else is the attempt to deceive and distract.
Seems pretty clear to me.

It's possible, but, thick-headed close-mindedness prevents this from ever occuring.

Yes, but they all refuse the true knowledge of god.
