Tolerance

Tolerance 2015

I do not celebrate Christmas and I think that is fine
I celebrate the Universe, but I still accept a “Merry Christmas” greeting without requiring cheese for my ‘whine’…

You see Christians share tunnel vision as other religious types do, it is either North or South for them and others must think like thee, for they refuse to agree to disagree

All that time wasted praying and wailing for other souls
Who do not see exactly as they see? How myopic can one be…?

I am not so naïve as to believe that the only life in the Universe
Is on planet, Earth retrieved…

We must Coexist in order to save our World
The chances of the multitudes attaining the ability to transpose seems slight to none, as our history is unfurled…

Humans are the only animals with the ability
To form an army, with the intent of total Genocide in the name of their god
Oh sod!

Hi Jill, for me, faith serves as a meditative focal point, the chaos in our world (I live in Minneapolis) urges us to demonize others, I resist such diatribes & seek peace & understanding through communication

I agree jill. Religion often seems to be the root of all evil. How contrary that seems. Only humans have religion.
