After an overnight storm, in the calm of the first light of dawn, where the desert ends at the Middle Sea, on the crest of a barren dune, the poet, philosopher, and prophet suddenly appeared.
This does not sound like reality. It sounds more like wishful thinking, a fantasy at best. The article is an attempt to reconcile all worldviews in a unified vision. In a comparative study of all theologies, cosmologies, and philosophies the student will find that each worldview in is conflict with other worldviews. All worldviews are counter-messaging the Judeo-Christian Worldview which is the most extensive worldview beginning before time and continuing after time. All the others have touch points and offers no comprehensive account. In the Judeo-Christian worldview, the only time there is a unified worldview is after the church is removed from the world. It means that humanity is unchecked and unconstrained to do whatever it wants. That leads to an apocalyptic event.
The question is not achieving a unified worldview but which worldview is the most accurate one. That discernment is through formal argumentation and epistemology.
Okay, so what parts of your worldview are you willing to compromise in order to be compatible with other worldviews?
Secular Humanist are insisting on the removal of all Judeo-Christian symbols from public sphere but are unwilling to give up any of their tenets as they advance their secularist ideology in government, schools, and the public sphere. What can they give up to live in harmony?
Let us look at a comparison between Islamic and the Judeo-Christian Worldviews which seems to be in the forefront right now. The mainstream Islamic worldview is in Quranic Surah 112:1-4 which is direct denial of John 3:16, The Holy Trinity, and the Image of God in Man of the Judeo-Christian worldview. Denying John 3:16 is to deny the entire Judeo-Christian Worldview. Who is going to give up what in their worldview in order to live in harmony?
What makes secularism any better than any other worldview? The US was founded upon the Judeo-Christian ethic but is now transforming to a secular ethic without any real basis for the change.
If one has no agenda in forcing one's views upon another, there is no conflict. Why must you think as I or anyone else thinks? Why is difference a threat?
Ok, let's begin with the extreme situation. The Islamic worldview's final final revelation is Surah 9:5, The Sword of Islam. This fundamentally states to kill the infidel, the Christian and the Jew. Surah 9:5 is counter messaging Matthew 26:52 and one of the Ten Commandments not to kill (The Right to Life) as well as the final revelation in Christianity of love which is Jesus Christ.
Is the Christian to die for Islam or is the Muslim willing to not kill so that these humans can 'live' side-by-side? It is not working for Israel.
There are so many of the contrasts that it is amazing the planet has not yet blown up.
I wish.
Amen.

The story is an attempt to illustrate that all world views can live in harmony. Why are we so threatened by different views?

One doesn't "give up" one's views. One simply holds them while accepting that others have an equal right to hold theirs.
And when those view conflict, what do we do? Whose views prevail?

To clarify, the words of this fictional "prophet" are in quotes - simply to separate them out.
