So yesterday I wrote of tolerance. And apparently it was on President Obama’s
mind when he spoke to the United Nations.
And yet, the right gets so exercised because of one sentence he
uttered. The future does not belong to
practicing Christians.” He goes on to add nor does it belong to the intolerance
of any other religious group. The true meaning of his speech is that on this
tiny rock, we’ve got to start learning to get along together. I may not believe everything the Christians,
Jews, Islamics and Buddhists say and think, but they are my neighbors and I
must allow them their beliefs.
Without this kind of tolerance and open mindless we will be
nothing more than herds of scavenging animals in the post apocalyptic period. My
way of the highway attitude has to disappear. The belligerent I am right and
you are wrong is a deadly sin for all of mankind to suffer.
It is time for earth to bury the hatred, the ignorance and
the bigotry. It is time for us to become one again. Humans.
Way to go Mr. President. Tell it like it is. The future doesn’t belong to any one
sect. It belongs to free-thinking
people, who recognize that for us to survive as a species we must live as a
village.
