Religious Discrimination

I am confident that Jesus is not a proponent of discrimination. I don't think it fits well in the "love God, love your neighbor" realm.

I also believe that religion creates people who discriminate (encourages them to discriminate). Sometimes against those of other faith; sometimes against those of similar faith but with a different label; sometimes against those with the same faith label but different viewpoints. Sometimes against those considered "sinners".

Arrogance and discrimination seem to go together. Arrogance and religion seem to go together also.

Faith and Growth

Do you grow out of the faith you have or do you grow into your faith?
