Isn't the point Steve we all have to be tolerant of many beliefs but doesn't mean we have to endorse them.

There's nothing wrong with being kind to everyone isn't that what Christ preached? I don't really care what people describe themselves as I think whatever you do as long as it doesn't harm others is fine.

I don't though want to be told what I must believe or do and that's what's so wrong with many from left to right or all the different religions they are convinced theirs is the true way,can't all be right though can they?
Well I am a social libertarian. Live and let live is my moral credo, non-judgementalism my ideal.

I have sadly often noted, however, that true religious believers are often some of the most judgemental bar stewards around. And in the case of Christians this seems to be spite of Jesus himself stating that he who is without sin should cast the first stone. An obvious statement against judgementalism which He clearly disapproved of.

What I have tried to summarise, (badly) is what the one world religion seems to be shaping up to be.
I'm against it, of course.

Being kind is fine, but if it leaves people with the impression that sin is OK, perhaps a hellfire sermon would be better.

That reads like a right wing carricature of what is imagined to be a typical hippy lefty environmentalist.

And it hardly constitutes a religion anyway.

That sounds like the "hippy" commune in Wales.
