To my fellow brilliant humans,
What are your best ideas for fostering unity with others, despite our different beliefs? What can we do to accept and respect others' beliefs while staying true to our own?
There are now supposedly over 22,000 sects of Protestantism alone, and many of these have multiple layers of sects within them, as well. Humanity has a natural tendency to form groups and differentiate from other groups like this - and diversity of belief is a wonderful thing - but not when it leads us to attack each other.
So I'm asking you - what conscious decisions and actions can we offer to foster acceptance and respect?
After all, our most basic beliefs and ideals - to be kind, do unto others..., to love one another - are essentially the same across all belief systems. Ironically, it is in defense of our own beliefs that we lose those most fundamental ideals!
I look forward to your ideas!
