How can anyone of any religion depart from the core teachings of love that all these great religions have?

Since you ask "How can anyone depart ..." and nobody has given the answer to your "how" I will try to do it.

Religion like everything else in creation has a natural cycle.

It is born, grows and matures, gives it's best fruits and then gets old and "dies".

Despite all the criticism made to all the old religions of the world, their contribution to world civilization in areas like medicine, art, philosophy, literature, mathematics, astronomy, communications, etc.. is undeniable and can be verified in all historical books.

But religion is today synonymous with fanaticism, bigotry, prejudices, hatred, animosity, blind beliefs, etc.. all contrary to the original teachings of that religion.

Old religions of the past are no longer able to produce the transformation needed in man because they have completed their natural cycle of life.

We need desperately a new * spring time * for mankind.

.

Because "love" is a very much overused and misunderstood word in the English language. Do we really understand what is meant by the "core teaching of love", or "love your neighbor" or "love God above all else"?

These "departures" from the "core teaching of love" are simply interpretation of the teaching postulated by the different religious leaders. Of course personal pride and greed on the part of religious leaders can easily prostitute this "core teaching".

The Hell Law says that Hell is reserved exclusively for them that believe in it. Further, the lowest Rung in Hell is reserved for them that believe in it on the supposition that they'll go there if they don't.

HBT; The Gospel According to Fred, 3:1

“The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization.”

whomever wrote the comment defending the religion

way...needs to be fraternized for that.

i didnt even get to the rest. and in any case "love" isnt in most mainstream religions core beliefs. It's just a fake sparkling rubber bait.

What "core teachings of love" are you talking about? Be specific. The most popular world religions are hardly all based on pure altruism.

The Bible teaches love for the individual, but hatred for sin.

the question is not religion, but Christ,he said that he is the way ,the truth and the life,no one can get to heaven but by him, that's why he died on the cross.

where's were your proof any religion is true other than a fictional old book written by uneducated bronze-age political and religious hustlers?

Some religions have no LOVE except for those who LOVE their religion.

Jamie you know there is only one true religion and Buddha, Christ and others are it's members, all others are societies way of controlling the masses. Gassho! ~*~ EDIT: Thanks Jamie, we must be related. ~*~
