Today, one of the Facebook pages I follow, "I am UU", showed this news on my wall.
Since I am translating a book whose main theme is so far religious intolerance and its often deadly consequences on the growth of the Unitarian Church in Europe, I have been very upset by it.
These guys entered into the Church while a burial service was being held.
So, they don't even show respect towards a dead person and to all the people who where there to remember him.
As this article says: The organization framed their action as simply an effort to “present the truth of the Gospel in this synagogue of Satan”.
What does it mean?
It means that if I don't share your religious ideas, I am a worshipper of Satan, with Jew tendencies (maybe as a bonus, I can't say with certainty).
It means that these people don't even know what free thought is.
I feel pity for them.
I have friends who belong to many religious confessions: buddhists, catholics, muslims, unitarians, kabbalists, a Jehova's Witness, even atheists.
I strongly defend the right of each man and woman on this Earth to have his/her personal relation with the Divine, in the terms they prefer.
Diversity is the second most powerful weapon God granted us.
The first is Love.
Be yourself, love and respect one another.
I guess that just respecting our differences and loving each other exactly for what we are - as a certain guy calle Jesus told us to do - we have a chance to grow and reach the Kingdom he said we can reach. Here, on this planet.
I am confident that this is possible.
I hope that a growing number of people will understand that hate and divisions are leading us straightforward to a Hell that is not waiting for us after our death.
