An Eternal Career: VII. Religion

Religion is the instinct to worship and varies with the age, the race, the time and the place. All religions serve some purpose, and every age requires its particular form; and different revelation is given to man at different times according to his ability to understand. There are as many interpretations of religion as there are men, for no two persons think exactly alike about God and His attributes. But unfortunately, some who are seeking God according to their own ideas are not always called brother by those who worship the Creator in a different way.

Basically all religions are one, and all creeds but various aspects of the one religion. They all agree on the truths, on the fundamentals; there is no difference of opinion as to what constitutes these, for they are based on the moral and spiritual laws

Religion is founded on truth, and truth never conflicts whether found in science, art, music, literature, mathematics or philosophy. For truth blends with truth as light blends with light. It is only theology which cannot reconcile itself with other aspects of truth. Proof of religion is in demonstration and not belief, for all truth is demonstrable.
