Aren't we all thinking the same???

I read the text and some of the comments following on that.
My question is:

"Aren't we all meaning the same?"

I think we should stop pointing with the finger to each other and instead reaching each other a hand because I really think we want the same things to happen with the world and all living creatures. Don't we all want to spread a message of love, peace and friendship? Many religions who "fight" each other talk about the same "God" (God, Allah, Jawhe) so it would amaze me if we would want to spread different messages into the world. So I say, let's work together to create a better world.

And of course, there are many people who don't mean it good. Who follow a wrong path. These people are for me the fundamentalists, the extremists...and i believe every religion has to cope with these kind of people....(even groups of people who don't believe have "bad" people in it). I think that it is also a common goal of all religious and non-religious people (like myself) to help these people who haven't got good intentions, or at least protect the good guys from the bad guys.

So stop holding on to your religion and defend the people who have the same religion because there are "bad" people everywhere. Instead everybody should help eachother (doesn't matter which religion) because I believe that people of different religions with both good intentions have more in common than two people of the same religion but with different (good and bad) intentions...

Of course, then the question remains who are those with good intentions, but I really think that if people think about that without thinking about their own interests they find a quiet good answer to that question...
So...let's try to love each other a little bit more....
