Universality of the Golden Rule "Faith groups differ greatly in their concepts of deity, other beliefs and practices. But there is near unanimity of opinion among the world's various historical religions on how one person should treat another. Almost all religions have passages in their holy texts, or writings of their leaders, which promote the Ethic of Reciprocity or the Golden Rule."

- The golden rule all religions have in common.

- Unfortunately, these are some of the rosy items cherry picked. Many religious people prefer the passages that allow them to spite others.

- From the page: "%u201C...and do not do what you hate...%u201D (Gospel of Thomas 6)" I do not believe that the Gospel of Thomas is generally accepted in Christianity as a whole. 0.o

- Universality of the Golden Rule Religious Beliefs Governing Behavior Toward Other People Faith groups differ greatly in their concepts of deity, other beliefs and practices. But there is near unanimity of opinion among the world's various historical religions on how one person should treat another. Almost all religions have passages in their holy texts, or writings of their leaders, which promote the Ethic of Reciprocity or the Golden Rule. Buddhism "Hurt not others in ways that your yourself would find hurtful." (Udana-Varga 5.18) "A state that is not pleasing or delightful to me, how could I inflict that upon another?" (Samyutta Nikaya v. 353) Christianity "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (Matthew 7:12) "...and do not do what you hate..." (Gospel of Thomas 6) Islam "Not one of you is a believer until you wish for others what you wish for yourself." (Fourth Hadith of an-Nawawi 13) "No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself." (Sunnah) Sufism "The basis of Sufism is consideration of the hearts and feelings of others. If you haven't the will to gladden someone's heart, then at least beware lest you hurt someone's heart, for on our path, no sin exists but this." (Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh, Master of the Nimatullahi Sufi Order) Taoism "Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain and regard your neighbor's loss as your own loss." (Tai Shang kan Ying P'ien, 213 - 218) "I am good to the man who is good to me, likewise, I am also good to the bad man." (Tao Te Ching) Unitarianism "We affirm and promote respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." (Unitarian principle) Images are borrowed from the always inspirational pages of http://thunderbay.stumbleupon.com/, who is also the suggester of the above link. Thanks!
