yes.
like many people my age, I grew up poor, we ate the same thing every night,
except on Sundays we had fried chicken, with our bean, and fried taters. sometimes we would splurge and have macaroni with tomato sauce,
but on those rare paydays when my mothers check was over $50.00 we sent out for Chinese food.
this gave me a love of diversity, not only in food, but in people, cultures and thoughts.
when we close our hearts to those not like us we end up with narrow minds.
when we close our minds to thoughts, not like ours, we end up with stagnant thoughts.
when we close ourselves to to the acceptance of other cultures, then we miss out on Pizza.

I do embrace diversity because I have extemely high standards set for myself and I am awestruck when someone does something I would never do. I do compare myself with others but I experience disappointment in others because I want them to be a good person . I do believe that if everyone thought & behaved more like me the world would be a better place but not everyone would do that. i accept that.

Diversity in People yes, on the day of Pentecost Act 2: 9 thru11 we see how the Spirit was poured out to all people, nations and tongues that where in the world at that time. But it was all Christianity, not other religions. There is only One God, and he sent his Son Jesus to die for us on the Cross at Calvery. So diversity in peoples, nations and tongues, but not gods or religions.

Diversity is the conditions for evolution. It's a fact or law of nature. Without diversity nothing could evolve.

Neither and both. I ACCEPT diversity and see it's good points and it's value to the society at large, but I ALSO think that things would go a lot more smoothly and there would be a lot less hardship, pain, suffering, death and traffic if everyone thought and behaved just...like...me.

God did not create robots, not even in the heavens.
Each one of us are born into this world with distinct personalites, we don't operate on "rote"....how dull would that be?!!
If you will look around at creation, there you will find endless varieties of plant and animal life...no two are the same....so why should we be any different?
Diversity is interesting to say the least.....sometimes frustrating, but still interesting.

I ususally embrace diversity until it turns around and farts in my general direction. Excuse the obnoxious language, but I just made an interesting observation, if I may say myself.

I learn so much in this forum, from everyone... even the ones who irritate me... I do enjoy the diversity.

I like diversity. I like good debates. I like various types of worship. I like people of all races and nationalities.

I like diversity, and I think that people should believe what they want to believe, unless of course they're being stupid. Then again, many myths originated from "stupidity", so I rephrase that - you can believe whatever you like so long as you don't kill anybody.
