Random & Incoherent

Why does it seem that the religiously outward people are also the most bigoted, racist, and homophobic? Whatever happened to love thy neighbor, live and let live (or at least live and let die), or all of God's children deserve to be loved?

It seems that the more tolerant people are the ones that are not quagmired in religious indoctrination. But then again, I never was one much for organized religion. There's no reason why you can't have a relationship with God, yet still be "normal". No need to beat the bible, speak in tongues, or handle snakes.

As far as I'm concerned, just try and follow The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

This is probably the best piece of advice anyone could ever get. Not always easy to follow, but something to definitely strive for. The Golden Rule makes almost all other statements irrelevant. All 10 of the Commandments could be replaced with this one phrase. And that would have made it a lot easier for Moses to carry around, as opposed to those stone tablets.

Yeah organized religion is often a downer. We all need faith ... in something. But there's so much baggage in our relationship with religion, that it's probably best to just part ways and move on....
