Religious intolerance is the bane of our society. People point fingers at "them"; speak cruelly about each other based upon their unique interpretation of what a higher power is; I call it The Creator. Call that power what you will, for it truly matters little whether you believe or not, or how you believe, The Creator does not need you to believe, its existence is not dependant on your opinions.
What I have found is that the more we become myopic upon our interpretation of The Creator, the more we determine that our way the ONLY way, the more we will determine that everyone else's interpretation is wrong and needs to be diminished, destroyed, belittled.
To determine a person’s worth by what they are, they do, some title they carry, some honor they earned, by their belief system, is no different than determining a person's worth by their race, color, creed, net worth or any other measuring stick. They are all equally separatist, divisional, and counter-productive.
