3. Personally respond to this quote from the text (may need to continue on the back of this sheet of paper) (10 pts.) . . .it would seem that by definition, ultimate reality must be the same for all humans. Certainly the monotheistic religions consider God to be the God of all. But if that is the case, can there be more than one true religion? Are the religions saying essentially the same things, even though they are using different words filtered through different historical and cultural frameworks? Are they in basic agreement about the truth?
