From the Director
WE CAN NEVER DO AWAY WITH RELIGIOUS-BASED CONFLICT!
How can we say that? Isn’t this the main purpose of the Center? Almost, but not quite. Our purpose is rather to show how we can “reduce” religious-based conflict in the world not do away with it. It is simply not possible to “delete” religious-based conflict in the world. Here’s why.
Only in a perfect world, which we do not enjoy, can religious-based conflict be “deleted”. If the world is not perfect as ours is not, then we people of the world cannot be perfect either. We are imperfect and, as such, have our loves, our hates, our prejudices - in fact we have our choices - good and bad. And those choices are controlled by so many factors it is almost impossible to name them all. These factors certainly include the experience of our formative years as we grow up, our education, our friends, our government, our religious beliefs, the media - in fact all of the outside and internal environments to which we are subjected.
So, unlike Elon Musk we cannot reach for the stars and truly delete religious-based conflict. We can never totally do away with it even as we cannot delete hate, prejudice or greed in the world. We must be content with simply working to reduce it as much as possible - still a mighty undertaking.
The question is HOW, considering the above, do we reduce religious-based conflict in view of the hate, prejudice, greed, etc. that is in this world?. We have the power of many governments, the media, hate, antisemitism, etc. starring us in the face at every turn.
