I am not sure that support from Paula Abdul makes
One God Jewelry worth investigating but certainly its statement about peace and unity is worth seeing. The diamond pendant surrounded by sterling silver is currently available for $150 but other pieces made of handmade silver, gold, and platinum paired with diamonds in pendants, bracelets and dog tags are also within the line that combines Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious symbols. Apparently
Paula will be buying twelve necklaces for this year's top-twelve American Idols and is working on a new line with One God Jewelry as well. Her involvement doesn't get my attention really but certainly the jewelry's effort to raise awareness about global hunger, poverty and disease does.

If you knew anything about Paula you would know she spends a lot of her time raising awareness about global hunger, poverty and disease. Maybe you should talk about her with a little respect because she would never stoop to being so rude about you.

Screw those polytheistic religions.

So why associate reasonable goals like reducing poverty and suffering with references to a short list of cultural myths & traditions that still manages to exclude more than half the population of the planet (who don't practice any of those particular religions)? Especially since the three mentioned are participating in maintaining (or at least serve to motivate the maintenance of) those conditions worldwide. Especially since the "God of the Old Testament" is a right bastard whose agenda rarely promoted peace or a general lack of suffering.
Also, are those diamonds verified conflict-free? What about the precious metals? Are they fair trade? Mined by ecologically sensitive means? Hand-made by whom? For what rate of pay? It would be kind of ironic if pendants intended to reduce global hardship were funding some warlord's slave-camp mining efforts or displacing subsistence farmers who had the misfortune to be farming over (exportable) silver deposits.
A lofty goal marred by sloppy thinking.
"One People" or "All Are One" would have been better, more inclusive sentiments.
Oh, wait -- is the jewellery supposed to be ironic?
