Semester Hours
Course Description: (There are no

that comparative religion makes it possible for people of different
creeds to understand the principles that are behind their behavior,
including sexual issues. If these studies are done with objectivity and
sincerity and without mental reservation can bring the people to realize
the true story of humanity and will unveil without equivocation the
truth behind every creed. To have knowledge of Hinduism, Buddhism or
any other kind of eastern religion will allow the westerner to
understand that there are human beings with the same aspirations of
immortality and ethics and spirituality. People live usually with
prejudice about other beliefs. So we found that this oppositional view
such as; Christianity versus Judaism, western versus eastern, Islam
versus Christianity and Judaism, etc. creates an atmosphere of
insecurity, misunderstanding and antagonism.
