Marnni,
Thank you for taking time to share some of your perspective. I honor your journey and respect your opinion. I think you will find you are not alone in your opinion, and perhaps some readers will find comfort in your comment.

To me, i do not think Jesus' 'sword' was opposing the good/true/beautiful things of other religions (Judaism included of course)...but opposing selfish, worldly desires present in all of us (Christians/ his followers included of course). If we summarize Jesus' teaching as the two greatest commandments (Love the Lord &amp; Love your Neighbor)...then I think that just may include living in unity with our neighbors (of differing religions).
