I was going to say-
When
The Muslim protects the Israelite,
And
The Israelite protects the Christian,
And
The Christian protects the Hindu,
And
The Hindu protects the Buddhist,
And
The Buddhist protects the Atheist,
And
The Atheist protects the Mormon,
And
The Mormon protects the Wiccan,
And
The Wiccan protects the Taoist,
And
All of these are interchangeable –
There will be hope for us all.
Instead,
It seems that when protection is not needed from one another
But acceptance is the rule of peace,
Then,
We will have hope.
This is so true Colleen! You have it right on.

I strongly believe in what you wrote.
But I also believe when a god commands you to kill non-believers, it ceases to be a religion. It becomes a cult.

We may not always agree with the beliefs of others, but that is no excuse to treat them badly. Everyone should be free to believe however and in whomever they choose….as long as that “religion’s” teachings aren’t used as a license to hurt others.

Hope coming from acceptance would be great, Colleen. My Mom and I were discussing how the news emphasized fear of the Islamic and Muslim faiths. Mom said she doesn’t “excuse” certain groups over other ones. I looked at her wide-eyed and said by her being 87 I would think she would be “set in her ways.” She said, “This won’t happen as long as I have breath in my lungs.” If only. . .
