America's stance has been ages told that of freedom of choice ..... that may have been the beginning belief - but present day folks of different levels act as if that may be so until different from me.
The fact is, the freedom to choose is each of ours, however respect is something that each person has to learn to develop and use - whether your own or that of someone else.
Nowadays difference validates the right to attack, berate, vicitimize and kill.
What a shame!
Just because what you choose is different does not give you the right to degrade another of a different choice.
In reality - we will all give an account for our choices ..... need be sure what we are standing for is worth it!

Some of us do bash sorry about them. Some of do accept and respect.. Most of us have been led astray by preachers who know they will not be held accountable for spreading things God would not like. The Voo Doo thing I am not acquainted with, any one who decides deliberately to practice evil I would be opposed to hanging out with. Here's the truth without any of the bashing
God created man to be his friends. He already had angels who are pretty much programmed like your computer and as you might guess having a computer while it is handy is not the kind of friend at least I am liking. So man is made and no one in their right mind wants a friend who does not want to be their friend. God desires His friends to live with Him in His (lets call it heaven) place. This place would not be any better than here if people who choose to be evil are there, so He welcomes those who are willing to display a modicum of obediance, and choose good over evil and we all live happily ever after,, except those who choose not to get along, and for them I am just assuming on this part, there are multiple outcomes like outer darkness etc. perhaps they get to choose how to be separate from God I am not sure and neither is anyone else.
If people make little mistakes like spelling or pronouncing His name wrong or even if in a moment of weakness they say bad things about Him or if they are ignorant God can fix all that, but if one chooses to be separate then it's ok by my friend God.
There are rewards for good performance but that is a whole other story.

The bigotry and hatred by xians is astounding -- all wrapped in the pretense of loving others for their souls, when they really only want to intimidate people into giving more money for the churches.

What about NAMBLA? they trust that it really is totally proper for adult men to have sex with little ones. this should be "respected", precise? an excellent variety of pedophiles justify their acts with biblical passages. What about the folk that justify their terrorist acts with their holy texts? Is it their "precise" to carry the theory that those who imagine in yet otherwise than them ought to die? Why no longer respect that? What about Christians that shoot abortion medical doctors? ought to we respect their dedication to their god? Muslims beating and raping women is merely portion of their non secular beliefs! we are "Judging" them and their lifestyle after we are saying that better halves have the right to no longer be raped through their husbands... How DARE we decide them!!! What about the Mormon Cults? The salary of heavenly father trust it really is proper to operate a 14 year previous as their 9th spouse! even if if SHE is concerning HIM! They sense it really is gods will that they expel the teenage boys from the community so there are more beneficial women for the salary! how are you going to assert that they don't seem doing the favor of their lord? merely because one lifestyle sees something as a human rights violation doesn't supply us the right to "decide" them, does it? How dare you opt them! there is not any more beneficial positive or worse even as it comprises lifestyle and ideology, in worry-free words "diverse", precise? How dare we label something as "undesirable"?

Take a few slow easy breaths.
Now repeat to yourself.
"It is going to be okay, it is going to be okay."

wow, I see such hatred in your little question.
remember anger leads to hate and hate leads to the darkside.
All we wan't is for people to judge us as idiots for our beliefs and then claim we have no right to speak on behalf of theirs, faulty logic no?
and may jesus bless you.
