I like the teachings of Satchidananda. He us a yogi, with Hindu influence.
He teaches that there is one truth but many paths.
All of the worlds religions are but variations on a theme.
In this light of understanding shines the wisdom and love of God.
Love all, serve all. This is his teaching that has been adopted by Hard Rock Cafe.
Blessings and peace to all,
All in all,
Nony

I'm not a Buddhist, but I like all of it's principles. It really gets to the point and appears to have more insight that most religions, like life is an illusion, desire is the cause of suffering, the wheel of reincarnation where you are reborn to the opposite side of the wheel that keeps going around and around for millions of years, the idea that Truth isn't speakable and beyond words, that extremes in yoga, like fasting till you drop, is off the path, and that the right way is the middle path, have right speech, right thoughts, right deeds, right work, etc. It's a very good religion that isn't supposed to even be a religion because to realize God, you can't have a religion.
I also like the whirling dervishes from Sufism. They somehow keep spinning as they transcend to a higher plane of consciousness and lose consciousness of their bodies that keep spinning around. Pretty fascinating.

Sure. Many belief systems teach principles that are true. In general, almost all religions that I'm aware of teach people to be good to each other, to be kind, to have compassion, and to try to have a peaceful society.

I like many of the Neo-Pagan and Wicca beliefs, along with some of the religions from ancient times, such as ancient Roman, Egyptian and Greek. I'm not any religion at the moment, still searching I guess.

I like Buddhism's insistence on experiencing reality and not getting bound up in notions, of practicing mindfulness.
I like Taoism's gentle and practical wisdom, that harmony is found in conforming oneself to the Way and not in bending nature to fit oneself.
I like Islam's message that we are all brothers and deserve justice and peace and to worship God.
I like the neopagan outlook that finds god(dess) in every part of the world around us.
I like Judaism's willingness to struggle with the concept of "God" no matter what it costs them, and the idea that history is important, not just an endless wheel ever-repeating.
Peace to you.

I like certain Satanic principles -- rational self-interest, for one -- but I'm not a Satanist.

Despite my atheism, and anomie towards the Mormons, I can't help but respect their very strong emphasis on family.

I've always liked the Hajj, and would love to see the Ka'aba someday, but I don't think its wise to break a covenant with God in one church for another covenant with another church.

focus, compassion, assurance, unity.
In some cases it's annoying but i admire the faith of some people particularly the christians and muslims.
