| . Excellent new movie about Malcolm, Ali, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown: "One Night in Miami." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8vf_Cmh9nY . Thank you for the recommendation. If it weren't for the pandemic, I'd be organizing a viewing party for it, to promote peace and nonviolence. |

| Contrary to popular belief, "Allah" is nothing more than the Arabic word for God, used in Arab translations of the Bible, as well as the Koran. Would it be okay for a believer of the Urantia Book to pray in the name of Allah, especially in admiration of nonviolent Sufi teachers like Rumi a... |

| What the Urantia Book describes as the Thought Adjuster, Quakerism describes as the Christ Within or Inner Light. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave... |

| The foolhardiness of racism is revealed in this quote from Clash of Civilizations by Samuel Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.

| In light of the Urantia Book, this is clearly a reference to the Thought Adjuster, the divine spark within: Matthew 5 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light ... |

I agree. The Urantia Book also recognizes the validity of all the world's major religions, and all spiritual teachers throughout history who've taught a relationship with the Universal Father. |
