In our final year at school, we studied world religions. This led to the inevitable question of how did we know (how does anyone know?) that our religion was the true one? How could everyone be right? The nun who was teaching us came up with this image:
“Think about a diamond with all its different facets. Those facets are the various religions. If you put that diamond up to the light – God – it shines through every facet differently, creating a variety of beautiful colors.”

Never mind the article, I just really liked that one quote about the multi-faceted diamond. I would have said crystal (because there is nothing holy about the freaking inhumane ugliness of the diamond business!!!) but still…. Great way to think of it!
