Coffin, fresh from burning draft cards on the steps of Boston's leading Unitarian Universalist church, suggested to McLennan " that there may be more to religious life that I need and was seeking than Jesus alone could provide."

The fact that many false religions have spread over large portions of the earth like wild-fire had some weight on me.

But I was very unwilling to give up my belief; -- I feel sure of this for I can well remember often and often inventing day-dreams of old letters between distinguished Romans and manuscripts being discovered at Pompeji or elsewhere which confirmed in the most striking manner all that was written in the Gospels. But I found it more and more difficult, with free scope given to my imagination, to invent evidence which would suffice to convince me. Thus disbelief crept over me at very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the plain language of the text seems to show that the men who do not believe, and this would include my Father, Brother and almost all of my friends, will be everlasting punished.

More than this, Islam can teach us today a way of understanding and living in the world which Christianity itself is the poorer for having lost.

My next suggestion is more controversial, because it raises a more crucial issue.  We ought also, I should say, to try to purge our Christianity of the traditional Christianity belief that Christianity is unique.

If God loves mankind, He would have made a revelation to us among other people, But, on the same ground and in virtue of the of the same vision of what God's nature is, it would seem unlikely that He would not have made revelations to other people as well. And it would seem unlikely that He would not have given His revelation in different facets, and to different degrees, according to the difference in the nature of individual souls and in the nature of the local tradition of civilization.

Hindus also believe that life is cyclical, that at death the soul (atman) is reborn (reincarnation) in either a higher or lower physical form depending on the actions taken in the previous life (karma).  Through devotion and correct behavior, it is possible to ascend through the orders of reincarnation, achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth, and be united with the Supreme Being.

This is the beginning of Wisdom: From Good must come Good, and from Evil must come Evil. That is the First Law of Life, and all things that live are ruled by that Law.

Water always flows downhill.  Fire is always hot.  Ice is always cold. That is because there are Laws in life that makes these things as they are.  So also that which is done, cannot be undone again Prayers and sacrifices to any god must therefore be useless.

The basic teachings of Buddhism are summarized in the Four Noble Truths: that all is suffering, that suffering originates in desire, greed or attachment, that if desire can cease then so can suffering.

The holy book of Islam is the Quran.  It is a comprehensive guide for Muslims on all aspects of their lives, including spiritual, moral, social, and economic rules for living. It contains many stories about the Old Testament prophets, such as Moses, Abraham, and Jonah, as well as stories regarding Jesus.  However, the Quran denies key points of Christian teaching, including the belief that Jesus died on the cross and was God,

"God has not taken to Himself any son."

Surah XXIII (25)

"He has not taken to Him a son."

Surah XXV (26)

"Is it not of their own calumny that they say, 'God has begotten?' They are truly liars."

Surah XXXVII (27)
Islam

The Witnesses reject a number of beliefs held by mainstream Christian churches, including the belief in the Trinity, or three persons in one God.  They also reject the belief that Jesus was God by nature and instead insist that he received the status of Son of God because of his perfect goodness.

The basic principle of Eddy's teaching was that matter was an illusion and mind alone was real.  This extended to the belief that suffering and death were both illusory: no one can die, Christian Scientists maintain, and once this notion is believed, salvation comes.
