Religion is not an excuse for discrimination

Religion is not an excuse for discrimination

There’s a reason I think this message is important right now. Yesterday I was in a FB discussion thread and one of the women spoke of God with a lower case g.

Another person participating in the discussion commented that she would not speak to that person because she did not use the uppercase g when referring to God, therefore her opinion was not important enough to respond to.

This is certainly not what Jesus taught. As far as I know, this is not what any religion teaches.

Religion is not an excuse for discrimination.

Everyone’s opinion is at least worthy of hearing because that is how we understand the other person’s point of view.

Division eventually brings clarity, and hopefully compromise.

Just because someone doesn’t believe exactly as you believe, is not a reason to “cancel” them.

This cancel culture has got to stop.
