A "charter" is only good if agreed to by all involved, and you can trust that all will abide by it…
A website launched Friday with the backing of technology industry and Hollywood elite urges people worldwide to help craft a framework for harmony between all religions.
Well, if the Hollywood elite is involved, it must be of value.
The Charter for Compassion project on the Internet springs from a "wish" granted this year to religious scholar Karen Armstrong at a premier Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference in California.
"Tedizens" include Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin along with other Internet icons as well as celebrities such as Forest Whittaker and Cameron Diaz.
Well, shit. If Cameron Diaz is involved, that's all most of us simple Americans needed to hear.
Wishes granted at TED envision ways to better the world and come with a promise that Tedizens will lend their clout and capabilities to making them come true.
What would we do with out their "clout".
Armstrong's wish is to combine universal principles of respect and compassion into a charter based on a "golden rule" she believes is at the core of every major religion.
The Golden Rule essentially calls on people to do unto others as they would have done unto them.
Thanks for the explanation of the "Golden Rule". Do these arrogant people think we're THAT stupid?
(That was a rhetorical.)
"The chief task of our time is to build a global society where people of all persuasions can live together in peace and harmony," Armstrong said.
"If we do not achieve this, it seems unlikely that we will have a viable world to hand on to the next generation."
What's sickening about this video is the typical liberal "moral equivalence" argument, this time being made about religion. This would be more effective if they would've had the guts to get those who've committed dozens upon dozens of terror bombings, and threatening more, before they appealed to our good nature to act civilized first.
