It is always amazing to see how large numbers of people from
different religions always feel the need to show, by some outward
manifestation, to which religion they belong.
Jews wear the Kippah. Christians often use the Cross around their neck as an ornament, and many Muslim women wear the Burka.
In a sense one can safely say that these public manifestations of Faith have nothing to do with the definition of Faith and as a matter of fact can often become a source of conflict.
The definition of Faith is really quite clear: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Or as it is also said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you”.
Maybe something to think about when we talk about Peace on Earth?
