Hate is conquering the world!

It is conquering the world and there does seems to be no defense.   The political parties spill out their venom religiously and the conservatives of religion spew the same muck.   It seems now that parties and group can give us a list of who we are supposed to hate.  This morning I read such a list from religious conservatives.   First, take Starbucks off your coffee list because they give to groups that support gays--not traditional marriage.   Managed thinking all the way.  Why have schools to teach thinking?   Just go to the house, when a baby is born and give the parents the list of how the kid is supposed to think!  And we used to hate the communists for such indoctrination!

No thank you, any of you.  I will choose what I believe and it evolves without your help.   But these are the things that I truly believe:

l.  God is not in the mix when one preacher or one party denounces the segment of society and calls names that are filthy mean.
2.  My God is not in the mix when social courtesies are thrown into the trash to make room for some man's hierarchy of his own belief without any accommodation to those who might think otherwise.
3.  My God is not in the mix when individual dignity and courtesy are thrown out with the bath water, leaving only the scum behind.
4.   My religion is not in the mix when it involves tearing down, not building up those around us.

So, run with your hate.   You can't catch me and you can't make me change!  I'm the gingerbread man and I won't be a part of your preaching or your party anymore.   You are way off the mark I chose for myself many years ago!
