Let us be clear: actions done by criminals wearing a cloak of religion do not represent that religion.
Whilst,admittedly, some religions have some way to go in modernising their ethical and moral values to equal those of secular societies, it is unreasonable and grossly unfair to label those religions by the actions of a very very small minority of criminals.
This criminal activity is just as destructive to those religions as it is to the standards of secular society.
A message to those who would bomb,kill and maim:
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
~ John Lennon
I do hope you will find a way to stop hating yourself so that you may come into the fullest knowledge that we are all one, what we do to others we do also to ourself. You have no hope for love in any future life if you have not discovered what love is in this life.
