It is interesting to me how if you truly study comparative religions you will find that bottom line they all say the same thing and yet all the wars are fought over the specifics of each individual one. For example, "Obeying God" is talked a lot about in the Jewish tradition. In the Christian tradition it is called "Doing God's Will". In Eastern religions it's best described in Zen as "a flow in harmony with the Divine". In Islamic sects it is called "Surrendering to God".
It is all about the ego being put in it's proper place by daily seeking of guidance through meditation or prayer. Rational thought and logic is not all there is to us, there is also Intuitive Insight which when functioning properly (and this requires a lot of purification and insight) keeps us in synchronicity with Nature and Life.
It is not religion or the practice of it that is bad it is the lack of understanding and the usurping of power by stupid unenlightened men that is the problem. If Israel and Palestine could really experience God (Divine) in their lives, they would see how much in common they had and come to a quick resolution of differences.
