Is Your Church Or Synagogue Teaching You Hatred And Bigotry





God of all religions teaches love for all mankind. At least that is what we are told over and over when you meet with any religious person. They tell you God teaches love and forgiveness, kindness and humility. They tell you their God teaches to be good to your fellow human beings and practice tolerance for trespasses of others. But then where is all the hatred coming from. What about the guy who thinks he is Godly. The guy on the pulpit who has people's ears at least once a week? Can they be teaching us things we should not be learning at the church or synagogue.

How about you? Have you paid real close attention to what is being said in churches and synagogues across the country and how it's being said? What is the real message. Is it us vs them? Is it our religion is the only righteous religion? Is it that they are telling you that problems happen as an indicator of wrath of God to those who disobey? Are the interpretation of holy books too literal? Are you subliminally being taught that we must cleanse our cities of people that don't belong with us? Is your religion asking you that you will not achieve godliness as long as there is single person of another faith among you? Are they asking you to take revenge?

Perhaps it's time to look for an alternative. Perhaps it's time to reconsider. Perhaps it's time to tell them enough is enough. Perhaps it's time to ask them where is the love and kindness, the tolerance and humility. Perhaps it's time to ask them which God exactly are they asking us to follow after all. Perhaps its time to ask them is their God really all about love as they claim?
