"One summer in Montana around this time, my parents, Joe, and I got into a heated theological debate after dinner - a common occurrence whenever you got two or more Jacksons in a room. Early in the evening, my father checked out and went to bed. When I asked him the next day why he had left the conversation, he replied, 'Arguing isn't where faith is. That just feeds the ego. It's all in the doing.'" -- Phil Jackson
Judaism, Islam and Christianity all share common themes (in fact, all share the same God). Buddhism, Hinduism -- all these faiths take varying approaches toward sculpting a good world. In many respects, the common sense that we were born with brings us closer to God for as long as we choose to follow it. And since people do what people see, preaching through action may draw us ever closer to peace on earth.
