From 2014
To all who have chosen a video which is a step in the right direction re: embracing our fellow human as HUMAN (despite the punch, lol) to use as a forum to exercise ignorance, fear, & hate (& unknowingly as abject exposés of your OWN short-comings & anxieties):
We all believe what we believe. We are all free to do so.
There is a neuro/bio/physiological predisposition - shared by ALL those who possess faith (v. unfaithful), no matter WHICH faith. That's a HUMAN Commonality.
My own diverse heritage has afforded me a vantage point of pure open-minded love for all of us - be it as Children of Nature / A Loving Creator.
We Are All Humans, & We CAN choose love. We CAN abolish religious disputes by reading on ALL Theologies. By truly Listening (v. preparing a rebuttal whilst skimming over someone's Perfectly Truthful & Educated Replies - referring to MJ's replies). We can also learn from those of us incapable of faith.
When I indicated previously in the comments that one needs to access educational materials when they feel the urge to sling negative stereotypes about ANYONE'S Anything - esp. their faith (or even their lack thereof), I wasn't being facetious.
Those of us who are lucky enough to possess literacy skills & accessible literature are the most socially tolerant, & can see Peace in the near Future.
To be able to learn in such a way & yet to choose not to? That is the only Human Flaw that keeps Hatred Alive.
Nearly all of us don't want to hurt anyone (reiteration - except jerks, who unfortunately exist everywhere, are also Biochemically explicable, & to be pitied & helped to overcome their inability to spread love). Picking on one group over another is 100% ignoring that we are all individuals with similar feelings and desires.
We ARE all Brothers & Sisters.
Peace is OURS to Have.
As John & Yoko once said (Brilliantly Simple & rather Gandhi-Raque), "War is over... If you want it."
Do unto others, yadda - The Golden Rule predates the Big 3 by thousands of years, & yet is embraced by True Christians, Jews, & Muslims equally. Follow it & we'll be okay.
