Global Beliefs
A comparison of Global beliefs or
religions
would begin with the
definition of a word
that many who inhabit our planet would
claim describes the highest
priority in their daily lives,
next to a
place to live and food.
For some, faith or religion, is supreme,
placed above
all else
and one could or should be willing to
die to defend it.
For others, faith is seen as more of a
responsibility and a duty.
Religion or faith, can be a source of
great comfort in
desperate times and give one hope when
there is little else.
