What other religions or beliefs provide power & inspiration for character development beside Christianity ?

If you are talking about power from direct and constant contact through the Bible influencing the conscience, I don't know of any. If you mean inspiration as in positive incentive, encouragement and motivation for moral excellence, I don't know of any.
Only Christ reflects in His life example the perfect self-control and self-sacrifice to which humanity may attain. Only He promises and supplies power for the consistent demonstration of right principles in a human being's life. Both power and inspiration.

The course in miracles teaches a pure form of the teachings of Jesus with none of the contradictory nonsense of the bible.
It provides power & inspiration for character development without the judgmental ideas that christianity seems unable to live without.

Character development?
Where did that come from?
Didn't Paul tell the slaves to obey their earthly masters as God had put the master in charge of them?
That's basically saying that God made you inferior.
That's not character development.

OOh! oh; i see , xians have a monopoly on character now?
And wasn't that foolish of me, to believe that other belief systems, are hopeless in the realisation of the self.
u must be delusional to believe your question's premise.

They all do. One example:
Fame or integrity: which is more important?
Money or happiness, which is more valuable?
Success or failure: which is more destructive?
If you look to others for fulfillment,
You will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money
You will never be happy with yourself.

you can go to any religion and it may provide comfort, but all you need is Jehovah (God) in your life. and all you need to do is have faith in him.
