From telling people that it is wrong to be gay or have sex outside of marriage, is religion hindering peoples ability to become more tolerant in today's society?
Having a child outside of marriage doesn'tmake you a bad person, neither does being attracted to the opposite sex.
The social stigma attached to both stems from religious teachings and where I believe that some of these teachings give us good moral guidance others are just simply out dated.
We live in a societly where we shouldn't be afraid to live how we want and express our own ideas etc and not worry about being shunned by the God fearing community.
If people want to believe in what their religion teaches then that's upto them, why do they insist on telling the rest of us that we'll be damned to hell for the things they don't agree with?
