Interesting Rant, to say the least. I've talked about Love and acceptance in detail enough. Now for this:
It's fun being a Catholic Jew! :D I do apologize, though, for the unacceptable and stubborn people of....well, everywhere. Its a shame when people use religion to cite how evil something is. I've given up my belief in hell, actually. I realized that I couldn't worship an all-loving being that sends people to hell for not worshiping him. It was too contradicting, even for being a Christian. I realized the Love and acceptance were important, and that we couldn't do nice things for the shake of not going to a burning, fiery place. That we couldn't just expect to wake up and believe in something, then hurt everyone, knowing "GOD LUVZ MEH CUZ I BELEVE IN HIM.". I believe, personally, that everyone are God's Children. And that, while they sometimes may deserve a time out or a tug on the shoulder, he wouldn't condemn them to eternal suffering.
Once again, though, accepting and Love play a role in all this. They almost always do. Bigotry is often a fear, a fear of something one doesn't know or something one doesn't know. There is nothing scarier than an unopened door. Even so, it is in Love, opening that door, and while maybe not submitting it, accepting what is there. If so it holds true to Love, you are in fond company. And if it is that of hate....you can only Love, and hope others decide to turn on their lights as well.
Hm. Maybe I didn't talk about it enough. :o
Also, I've probably strayed from the topic seeing as:
