One True God
Well, that was inspiring in that I now am told there is One True God; What confuses me is that there are other religions that make the same claim.  Well, what to do.  I think I'll just continue believing as I believe and let others believe as they wish.  I can't help but think of the arrogance of those who think their way is the only way.  It may be the only way for them, but it is certainly not the only way.  Perhaps arrogance is too strong a word to use for such people; maybe it is just plain old presumptuousness?  Or perhaps a lack of empathy for those unlike them?

generic church
Rather whimsical thought. Not very practical. Christianity has the one true God. The rest of the "religions" don't know the meaning of the words "relationship with God". Don't think it would work. But have to agree with The Ben; we should be worshipping at HOME. We can and should be worshipping God everywhere and anytime and at all times.
There is a time and a place for God. The time is NOW, the place is EVERYWHERE.

A good idea

There actually are places similar to this. In fact, if many public chapels either removed their Christian symbolism or added symbols of everyone they could think of they would be similar to the place you describe, although not as elaborate.

I would add the "no burning incense" rule, so that everyone could enjoy the Center indoors and out.

A New Church!!

Very thoughtful!

Such a church already exists!! It is called the HOME !  If everyone worshipped and practiced their religion

at HOME and let the beneficial aspects of their faith spill over into the associations outside the home this

could be such a pleasant planet!
