Please be reminded this is not your opinion of the religions and it is required that you be respectful of others who will be reading your response.

This beautiful commercial highlights a friendship between two men of different religions and races. Although the men differ in these obvious ways, their common humanity was showcased by evidence of their aging, failing knees. Both men have dedicated their lives to their faith and both have used their knees to pray for themselves and for their fellow man. Albeit, they call Him by different names, and use different languages to pray to Him, they are praying to the same Higher Power: God. This commercial further highlights the good in all mankind, by the fact that these men were concerned with how to alleviate the pain and suffering of the other person-instead of themselves.

The message of this commercial is that although superficially, and even spiritually we may be different, essentially, we are the same. This commercial speaks to the friendship that can result when we embrace religious diversity and respect one another's faith.
