Comparative Religion - The human condition in world religions

Comparative Religion - The human condition in world religions: "Allah created Adam and commanded that he be worshiped by all angels. Satan (Iblis) opposed this command and only then was he banished from heaven:


And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the angels, 'Prostrate to Adam';, and they prostrated, except Iblis (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrate. Allah said: 'What prevented you Iblis, that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?' Iblis said: 'I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay. Allah said: 'O, Iblis, get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.' (Quran 7,11-13)"

What is the Human Condition?

What is the Human Condition?: "The Norwegian Academy of Sciences has determined that since 3600 BC there have been 14,531 wars and only 292 years of peace. This is approximately 2.6 wars per year, and one year of 'peace' out of every two decades, or a little over 36 hours of peace per month, or about one minute of peace every four hours. So man's ability to live in peace and harmony continues to deteriorate with the passage of time---not to improve"
