I app...I must say you stated everything very well. I appreciate your thought provoking post. I wish we could be more open and honest (as well as tolerant) with spiritual views. Sadly, that just is not the case. Your post proves that point. People truly believe that old adage that ignorance is bliss.<br /><br />In my opinion...Ignorance is such a very disturbing place to be. I have witnessed it all to often when people look at my son. This spiritual intolerance is really not that different.ONe PiNK FiSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125339640137409450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251538879801935223.post-61808394515654842802009-11-20T09:10:29.440-08:002009-11-20T09:10:29.440-08:00I'm not sure how I could include a pic of the ...I'm not sure how I could include a pic of the demotivation poster, but I can draw your attention to it's website at: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_splGEXDSNes/SINrZ-zrPLI/AAAAAAAAACk/tRAikC3jd9g/S730/Christianity.jpeg<br /><br />Basically, the idea is that Christianity makes about as much (non)sense as anything else, really. Some people cling to their beliefs to the exclusion of all others. I am not saying my belief system is any better or more "true" than anyone else's. <br /><br />I am SO with you, hon! We're right back to stating "my invisible friend is better than yours!" - which is really crazy, in my opinion. As a pagan and earth-based celebrator, there are things that feel "sacred" to me. I recognize that it is not sacred to everyone, and I don't expect it to be! Neither would I deny someone's right to honor whatever feels right to them - just don't try to keep my kids from learning about different ways of thought! <br /><br />We should focus more on having kids be respectful of others, to be tolerant and loving and to harm none! We should teach them to open their minds and follow their hearts! <br /><br />In my opinion, all "religions" are really a collection of myths (yes, even my own!). I'm ok with that, though. I find mythology to have interesting lessons to teach us about life. I find the ritualism to help us focus our energies on things that (in my opinion) deserve honoring and celebrating.<br /><br />I'm with you - there is nothing in my belief system that honors "evil"! I believe firmly in harming none! To me, this also means not forcing my beliefs on others!dreaming in mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351781973941395751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251538879801935223.post-3035063435249559182009-11-20T06:45:11.613-08:002009-11-20T06:45:11.613-08:00Well said, Lizzie!

It is ok for kids to play games that depict violence, or watch movies that put no value on any life at all, but don't teach spiritual diversity through understanding. It saddens me to think that we as a society are backsliding once again.Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050428036946794512noreply@blogger.com
