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. The Charter for Compassion project on the Internet at www.charterforcompassion.org 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.
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.
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.
"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."
Charter for Compassion invites people from "all faiths, nationalities, languages and backgrounds" to help draft statements of principles and actions that should be taken.

Their definition of harmony would be the same as any dictatorship in the world. Dissent would be grounds for imprisonment and “re-education” without trial.
“Charter for Compassion” is yet another left/Islamic/National Council of Churches front.

The Anti-Christ has arrived in Washington DC. The One World religion is getting a start. The Brown Shirts, the gays, are attacking what is left of true Christianity. Islam, the greatest of the false religions, is part of the Anti-Christ’s religious upbringing. The World loves the Anti-Christ. Yeah, it’s coming. Jesus said when you see the Obamanation of desolation, flee.
There can’t be any harmony with religions that have at their core, the systematic killing and punishment of non-believers, or religions that do not give people freedom of conscience to leave the religion. Or use physical violence to force people to either convert to their religion, or stay in their religion. Practices that are part of the core of the religion. Fear, intimidation, threatening.
And yes, Islam is one of them. There are others that do this too. Some Hindu sects are prone to this.
Well no, they feel a little bit differently than that. They think killing a Jew, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist wipes out all their sin and gets them -
whores, and round about them will (serve) boys of perpetual (freshness), of never ending bloom,never altering in age. If you saw them, you would think they were scattered pearls, with goblets, jugs, and cups (filled) with sparkling wine. They will advance to each other, drawing near, engaging in mutual enquiry.[homo sex in Mohammad heaven!] They will say: 'We used to be afraid (of the punishment) in the midst of our families, but Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the torment of the Scorching Wind and Breath of Fire."
Qur'an 76:21 "Upon them will be green garments of fine green silk and heavy gold brocade. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver; their Lord will slack their thirst with wine." with goblets, jugs, and cups (filled) with sparkling wine. No aching of the head will they receive, nor suffer any madness, nor exhaustion. And with fruits, any that they may select: and the flesh of fowls, any they may desire. And (there will be) Hur (fair females) with big eyes, lovely and pure, beautiful ones, like unto hidden pearls, well-guarded in their shells. A reward for the deeds."
We have formed their maidens as a special creation, and made them to grow a new growth [perpetual cherry popping]. We made them virgins - pure and undefiled, lovers, matched in age."
"Faces will be joyful, glad with their endeavour. In a lofty Garden they hear no harmful speech. Therein will be a bubbling spring, raised throne-like couches, drinking cups ready placed, cushions set in rows, and rich silken carpets all spread out."
"Allah's Apostle said, 'The first group who will enter Paradise will be glittering like the moon and those who will follow will glitter like the most brilliant star. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be gold and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris [virgins]. All of them will look alike and will be sixty cubits (180 feet) tall.'"
Qur'an 78:31 "Verily for those who follow Us, there will be a fulfillment of your desires: enclosed Gardens, grapevines, voluptuous full-breasted maidens of equal age, and a cup full to the brim of wine. There they never hear vain discourse nor lying - a gift in payment - a reward from your Lord."
Bukhari:V4B54N476-544 "The Prophet said, 'In Paradise they will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Everyone will have two virgins who will be so beautiful and transparent the bones of their legs will be seen through their flesh.'" [ sounds kinda gross]
no mention of "allah" being anywhere around there, that's because Allah is somewhere else. Allah spends all his time in Hell, torture jews and Christians. He gets a kick out of that.
666 Alert!
Well, in a sense I guess. there will be the false Christ, trying to get everyone to follow him, for he proclaims himself to be Lord.
Christians will be persecuted and hunted to the ends of the earth.
Someone should ask one of these Cameron Diaz, Forrest Whitaker Einstein’s what happens when the Golden Rule for some S&M “religion” consists of torture, degradation or treating women as property.
Lunatics...I read in an earlier thread liberalsim has been explained to be a mental disorder by science and this is just further proof.
I thought the UN already had that all set up. They even carried their "ark" around in a parade celebrating the coming of their Gaia (mother earth) one world religion.
Sister Joan Chittister, a sage? She’s a left wing idiot...
This group looks like another ineffectual, group hugging, folk guitar playing, relativistic bunch of assmunches.
What a complete waste of money!!
Well, that one didn’t work. So they are trying again
Thomas Jefferson already wrote it.
Thou shall have no other Gods before me. This is what God commands.
Over the years he must have dropped it a few times, because Allahs daughters, Al Uza and Manat were chips off the old allah block.
Millions of muzzies go to mecca to do a series of pagan rock god rituals Mohammads pagan great grandfather used to do, and then some Mohammad added, like running between two mountains, tossing pebbles as some dead tree stump representing the devil, then walking in circles around the same old watering hole "ka'aba (now moderized and with a roof added) eventually getting a turn to stick their head in what looks like a silver vagina to kiss "allah". It's the trip of a lifetime.
considering the amount of Muslims in the UN, I suspect they have a better use for the UN one world governance throne- for the world caliphate. UN secretarial general, Key Moon bat, said recently; "The sooner the western world addopts Islam, the better off we all will be"
I agree, the sooner the world embraces Islam, the sooner Jesus Christ will come back, to judge the world for denying Him. So, I guess in a sense I am for anything that will bring the return of Jesus Christ, to judge the unbelievers (Islam and the Left) and establish Christ’s kingdom here on earth. We already know Obamanation is or could be the Anti-Christ. I wonder when he will be revealed? And if there really is a pre-trib, au-trib or post -trib going to happen?
