How would you...?

Question

bring everyone, with their different beliefs, together? What is the one thing that unites, or connects, all of us, such that we can agree that at least part of us, is the same?

Answer 1

the feeling that there is a greater power is something everyone experiences how we choose to explain that to ourselves is the different religions/ athieism but even Sigmund Freud who dispised religion spoke of the existance of this "oceanic feeling" that all humans experience.

Answer 2

To bring everyone together, you'd need to introduce a common threat; something that would threaten the life of every person on this earth. That would force us all to unite against it or face extinction. The one thing that connects us is that we're all humans. Say some aliens found us here and decided to wipe us out. If we faced this hypothetical situation, we'd have to use the pride we have in ourselves, as one civilization, to give us a common identity.

Answer 3

I agree with sunman "everyone wants to be happy". Why is that? Could it be that we have lost something, or is it just buried under "beliefs? To find the truth of ourselves is a individual quest. No one can "make" a person see "truth". Although it can be pointed to. If they truly seek they will find and no one can stop them, if they are "satisfied" with "beliefs" they "think" there is power in numbers & follow the herd looking to some one or some thing else to "save" them.

Answer 4

Do you really want the ANSWER?

(Philippians 2:9-to-11) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

(Phi 2:10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

(Phi 2:11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Answer 5

Well we all had to have been created by the same source whatever it might be. I could tell them what I REALLY think is going on. It might unite them, though I don't think in a good way.

Answer 6

Describe the unknown God to them. The same one that St Paul declared the crowd.

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[f] your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
