Well said, Brand. I totally agree. The reason I can "judge the judgemental", so to speak, it simply by holding them accountable to their own core beliefs, which so happen to be what human beings need so badly.
First: Love everyone like you love yourself. Keep that going—it ain't easy.
Second: Teach others to have this love.
That's pretty much it. Let's give that a shot. All of us. Let's build a few generations out of this stuff. *Then* we can go back and crack open our bibles or korans or back-issues of Sports Illustrated... whatever floats your boat.
Because in the world where people love each other religious differences (hell, differences of all kinds) are wonderful things to talk about as opposed to things to kill for.
But seriously, if you just pay lip service to the love parts and jump straight to righteous judgement and condemnation? Not cool. Hypocrisy like that is at the root of many human problems... religious, social, political, and economic.
