Listen. Closely.
Religion isn't the problem. Extremism IS.
Practicing your Faith isn't the problem. Forcing it upon others IS.
Believing in a Higher Power isn't the problem. Twisting your Higher Power around to control others IS.
Believing in a book isn't the problem. Picking, choosing and twisting those words in your book to suit your own needs IS.
There is no such thing as a perfect Belief/Religion - Especially when you have to take it out of context to get what you want.
I believe in Live and Let Live.
I choose not to force my beliefs on others, as I RESPECT someone else's RIGHT to believe as they choose to.
But let me warn you; Force your beliefs on me, whether by cramming it down my throat, or taking away my rights, I will FIGHT BACK.
So, as I choose to respect you, please respect me. I'm not perfect, but neither are you.
Sincerely,
An Ordinary Woman
