Abraham's Dharma?

Abrahamic Dharma

Our nation has a religion known as Religionism or the First Amalgated Church, in which we merge all religions into one. We revere Buudha, Jesus and others. We have the Book of Truth (parts of various books) as our holy text. For example, we believe in the Resurrection of the Dead:

Among His signs is that you see the earth dry and barren; and when We send down rain on it, it stirs to life and swells. Surely God Who gives the dead earth life will raise the dead also to life. Indeed, He has power over all things. (41:39)

O mankind! If you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, (consider that) We created you of dust, then of semen, then of a fertilized ovum suspended on the wall of the womb, then of a lump of flesh shaped and unshaped, so that We demonstrate to you Our power. And We keep in the wombs what We please to an appointed term, and afterwards We bring you forth as infants, then We cause you to grow up, that you reach your prime. Among you some die (young) and some are sent back to the feeblest phase of age so that they know nothing after they had knowledge. You sometimes see the earth dry and barren. But when We pour down rain on it, it trembles, and swells, and grows of every pleasant pair. That is so because God is the Truth, and He it is Who gives life to the dead, and He is powerful over all things. (22:5-6)

Does man think that he will be left to himself uncontrolled (without purpose)? Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth? Then he became a clinging clot; then He shaped and fashioned, and made of him a pair, the male and female. Is He then not able to raise the dead to life? (75:36-40)

Look at the prints of God’s Mercy: how He gives life to the earth after its death. Lo! He verily is the Reviver of the dead (in the same way), and He is able to do all things. (30:50)

God has brought you forth from the earth like a plant. And to the earth He will restore you. Then He will bring you back fresh. (71:17-8)

Those verses were borrowed from the Quran of Islam. We also borrow from the Bible, and other faiths. We are Monotheist and we believe in One God of All. We believe in Heaven and Hell (for the wicked). We believe in the coming of a Messiah (as the Jewish people do) and we believe in a Satan figure.

We do not do much missionary work, if we did, you would see us easily. We have had relations with faiths like Christianity and Islam, and with others like the Jains. We do not believe religion is a problem, for not all Muslims are terrorists for one.

A General Council heads Religionism or the FAC. We can open parishes in your nation if you would allow us to do so.
