text: Interesting idea Peggy.   The problem might be that no religion is represented by a single voice.    My version of a meditative approach to Christianity is going to be very different from a Christian snake handler or those who believe only those speaking in tongues understand the word of God.  (Extreme examples but there are hundreds, if not thousands of Christian denominations seperated by conflicts in theology.)
  
  I'm quite sure there are many variation of the other major religions as well.      I fully support fear-free discussion on religious belief's, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with the practices of some in my own faith, let alone thinking I have a clear understanding of a religious belief in an unfamiliar culture.
