Naive arrival

Tech leaders to unite world religions with the "golden rule".

For probably good reason, they sound like competent High School Sophomores that have yet to take their History Class. With their high self-esteem I think they are expecting an "A" for effort and originality.

They have simply arrived and had a bright idea regarding one of the most perplexing works of the devil ever invented.

Of course, these well meaning folks see religion as a tool of culture rather than anything deeper they have yet to understand.

Hollywood and techies to the rescue. God save us.

A little humor for your morning coffee...

The Golden Rule essentially calls on people to do unto others as they would have done unto them.

"The chief task of our time is to build a global society where people of all persuasions can live together in peace and harmony," Armstrong said.

"If we do not achieve this, it seems unlikely that we will have a viable world to hand on to the next generation."

A website launched Friday with the backing of technology industry and Hollywood elite urges people worldwide to help craft a framework for harmony between all religions.

"Tedizens" include Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin along with other Internet icons as well as celebrities such as Forest Whittaker and Cameron Diaz.

Wishes granted at TED envision ways to better the world and come with a promise that Tedizens will lend their clout and capabilities to making them come true.
