Response to Be a good neighbor, even to Pagans!

 

For some reason humans seem to be individually unique, even though similar in may ways. For this reason alone we must assume that no one belief system can comfortably fit them all.
If we were meant to be the same we would have been designed that way, so any system that tries to make us all the same will fail. The more we try to enforce order them more we create chaos. The reverse is also true, the more chaotic things get the sooner some new order will become. Like most things in nature it is a constant ebb and flow process. Nothing succeeds forever and all things must be able to adjust to drastic change or they cease to be.

As for the Christians, or any other people with a holy book, please understand that the holy book means something only to those in the religion. It is useless to quote scripture to someone outside of the religion for it means nothing at all to outsiders. Understanding this will save people with holy books a great deal of frustration, and everyone else a lot of wear and tear.

Belief and non belief are both matters of personal opinion. I have never noted that opinion was ever affected by facts of any kind. Each will see only what justifies his opinion. So at some point we must agree to disagree to get on with more important things in life, such as solving the many problems of living. Many of these problems require that we be able to work together no matter how much we may disagree with each other on numerous things.

Wisdom is what is left after you have done all the dumb stuff.
