They would talk about how everybody wants to look at the finger pointing to the moon instead of looking at the moon itself; how people focus on the messenger and not the message. They would discuss what to do about this problem.

On my Facebook page, I loved the following comments:
“I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t invite Shiva to dinner!”
“They were gossiping about Jesus because he wasn’t there.”
“Mohammed: ‘I said NO pictures!’”
“I love forcing the Buddha to talk!”
“Probably a more civil conservation than would be had by Luther, Calvin, Cranmer and Zwingli!”

Your daughter’s curriculum sounds like what my children received when they were growing up in the UU church. Am glad your daughter is getting this education. IMO it is important to understand more religions than the one a person belongs to. Wish more children had a chance to get this information early in life. Maybe it would help with tolerance for other’s beliefs.

One point of criticism: Shiva is a Hindu god, while the other two are human figures on the “prophet” or “founder” level. Shiva does not really fit in this company. The question should have included Krishna or Rama instead of Shiva.
Moses: “Is this kosher?”
Muhammad: “And halaal?”
Krishna: “Is there a vegetarian menu?”
Buddha: “”
Moses: “Sid, are you OK? You seem awfully quiet?”
Krishna: “Ssssht, he’s meditating.”
Muhammad: “Meditation is overrated, if you ask me. I got my message directly from an angel. How about you, Moe?”
Moses: “I’ll see your angel and raise you. The boss appeared to me directly as a burning bush. Krish, what’s your spiel?”
Krishna: “I am an avatar of Vishnu, remember? That was me in the bush.”
Moses: “In a sense.”
Krishna: “In a sense.”
Buddha: “All dinner is suffering”
Muhammad: “He’s back. Come on, Sid. Drop the pessimism for once and let’s enjoy dinner”
Moses: “Hear, hear … that’s not shellfish, is it?”
Buddha: “Enjoyment is impermanent. There’s no real point to any of this.”
Krishna: “True. But let’s pretend there is, anyway. Something to keep us busy for the next billion years or so.”
Moses: “Krish, sounds like you’re still involved with that Maya character?”
Muhammad: “Isn’t Sid’s mum called Maya? Oh, sorry Sid, I forgot she died when you were young.”
Buddha: “No relation. And we all die sooner or later.”
Krishna: “What a party pooper.”

religion was made up by man to control and gain power of the world.. god doesnt need a religion or a book to explain himself.god is everyone and everything.its not that god can move a mountain its god is that mountain.is there free will? no sorry ..god makes himself into a man say jesus and plays with all his toys who believe there is free will,like a child playing with his little green army men.. well yes this game feels very real to us.so we are only forced to play.. i will now play or i mean god is playing……if all these holy people showed up for dinner they would say what ever the people who wrote thier religion would want them to say.. religion is a middle man made by thieves… you dont need religion to talk to god just talk to him

The kind of education that your daughter is getting should be the way what everyone else should be put through. When we know our own religion, understand it and trust our religion, it is only then will be able to understand and relate to others belief in their religion. We’ll be able understand the feeling of the person regarding his religion. If you are look with a broader mind you can always learn something good from all the religions.

I believe they would taste and eat mindfully and bathe in the divine radiance that pervades “what is.”
