Cultural Reforms in Religious Theology--Badly Needed Today

Theological treatises must be developed and promulgated according to the culture in which the particular religious faith is professed.  Here are some prominent principles that should be incorporated into the articles of their respective religions.

I.  Cultural Reform in the Christianity of Today
    Those believers of the Western nations are concerned with:
     1.  Climate Change.  Ignoring the issue would make Christianity irrelevant to the Christian's life in our Century.  We must get away from fossil fuels, especially.
      2.  Concern over the sanctity of human life implies the need to prevent unwanted pregnancies and avoidance of responsibility for lives that come into the world.  There must be a statement of the woman's right to exercise birth control procedures.

II.  Cultural Reform in the Islam of Today.
      1.  Muslims must learn to respect the professed faith of one another!  Specifically, as have the Christians several centuries ago, they must not turn the sword on one another.  Those Muslims in need of food and clothing must be attended to peacefully and with religious concern.  The Sunnais and the Shia'a must embrace one another as devotees of a common core of beliefs and practices.

III. Cultural Reform in the Hinduism of Today
      1.  Human life should be more highly valued than any other living biological thing!  That means cows and lower forms of animal life ought to be given a lower status in God's creation.  The waters of the rivers must be made pure for human consumption, including that of the Ganges.

In sum, the believer ought to make his religion applicable to his cultural values in ways that support human life.  God made man in His image!
