Online charter


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

The Charter for Compassion project on the Internet at www.charterforcompassion.org has the backing of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, along with other Internet icons as well as celebrities such as Forest Whittaker and Cameron Diaz.

The idea is to use the Internet to combine universal principles of respect and compassion into a charter based on a "golden rule" the the group believes is at the core of every major religion. Basically, the Golden Rule behind every religion is apparently "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (Uhm? sub.ed.)

Charter for Compassion invites people from "all faiths, nationalities, languages and backgrounds" to help draft statements of principles and actions that should be taken.
