It's unsettling to see a persons religious freedom of expression, their tradition and identity
being attacked because it differs from their own.. It's a sign of fear. Undermining one's belief system while bragging of their own seems selfish, closed minded and purely counterproductive.
If we focused more on how we affect others with our words,
both cruel and kind and less on— mine is better than yours;
then, ultimately, it reduces to playing nice in the sand box,
sharing your toys and if someone chokes, have a big enough heart to attempt CPR rather than record it on your smart phone, oh and be willing to receive
a hug in return without reservation.
We are all programmed innately to survive and to love, how we accomplish
this life long task is individual yes, but never done alone; so take consideration for everyone
no matter what their denomination. Reading about someone's religious beliefs through a social media outlet doesn't convert you, it merely educates!
Consider how ridiculous humans look in the eyes of every other species.
Humans are the only breed who need a mouth to communicate.
My cat and dog never bitch to one another about who or how they pray; they do however, warn each other of eminent danger without ever uttering a single word.
Ant's, they can walk a straight line without a velvet rope. Birds, they never negotiate a traffic jam and apes, they were just fine without sign language. In my own frustration the culprit
here, is a big inflated ego. Keep yours in check!
