I was raised catholic, but I have not had any experiences in my life that have supported a religous or spiritual lifestyle.
Recently, a good friend who was also the best man at my wedding, wrote a letter by email telling me and our group of friends that he no longer wants to be associated with us because of our differences in our moral standards based on his religious beliefs. He has over the past 2 years been hurtful, dishonest, absent and uncaring. We (our group) kept reaching out and this is how he responded.
How can any good religion promote close mindedness and exclusion of groups based soley on a belief? If love and forgiveness is forefront in all good religions, why is what happened to me and my group of friends such a common story among the very religous? It does not give religion a good name when a very religous person tells you that you aren't good enough to be his friend.
