I notice a lack of tolerance in myself, not necessarily an intolerance for religion, but for the intolerance that religion displays. ie. Not too long ago my neighbor, who is devoutly religious, had a work mate who died of cancer. This work mate was an eastern religion, don't remember which one, and because of this my neighbor said how sad, becuase she is now burning in hell.
I agree with others here who have stated that they found it necessary to reassess their core values. It is important for each person to find what they believe defines themselves and stick to that. It is not for us to tell others how they should live, think or act. The only person that we can truly change is ouselves.
I have started some threads on here that have dealt with ideals that I had as a witness and cannot seem to get rid of. Some of the members disagreed. It did not offend me or make me angry, becuase, I came on here and posted my idea to get others opinions on it, whether it agrees or disagrees with what I am thinking.
Anyway, that is my two cents. And I might add that I have probably said what has been said before and not put as eloquently as others. My opinion is that there are a lot of people on this board who have a beautiful way of expressing their thoughts.
