S Y N C R E T I S M

"I see syncretism as a first step in moving beyond religion toward spiritual practice. Eventually we will realize that God is unknowable, so creed is untenable. What matters is how compassionate and just we are. Those religious ideas and practices that enhance our capacity for compassion and justice will become part of our lives, regardless of the religion from which they come. And to that I say, Amen."
-- Rabbi Rami Shapiro

...and this coming from a Jew? There is hope and it is good!
