Religion

At the core of the three major monotheistic religions (and I simply don't know enough about non-monotheistic religions to say anything sensible) is loving, honoring, and respecting others. Also they all have stuff about helping others less fortunate.

However, the core message is all too often lost in the sense that one specific narrow view of "God" is the only one that is correct and therefore it is just fine to not only disrespect other beliefs, but to actively cause harm to those who hold them.

If the bombings today in Sri Lanka were done in the name of a religion, those religious leaders need to step up and loudly say how wrong it is. Perhaps that has already happened and I'm just not following this story closely enough to know.
