(54,473 posts)4. Exactly. My religion is a guide to *my* life. Not anyone else's.
It's not my place to shout at people that they're sinners because they eat bacon. It's not my place to refuse to do any kind of business with them because they're sinners.
The right wing would go nuts if anyone tried anything like that, but they think they're in the right when they force others to life by their religious rules.
In point of fact, I don't keep kosher. But I do believe a fetus isn't an independent life in any moral sense prior to its viability. Pregnancy slavery laws violate my religious views but the right wing doesn't care. They just think my religious views are evil and don't count. Only theirs count.

Thank you for being so considerate of other people's feelings! But NO apology is necessary.

Yes. Because I know the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
