I love it when some clever person finds a way to represent complex data in a unified, visual form. “Similar Diversity” is an exhibit that attempts to do that with the scriptures of the major world religions (courtesy of information aesthetics).

I just wish I could find a larger image so I could try to make some sense of it. Right now, it’s like too much of religion: pretty at a distance, but ultimately undecipherable and not quite useful. But at least no one’s killing anyone over it (yet) … and the attempt to highlight unity is appreciated.
