I grew up in a home with parents of two different religions and was NEVER told that one religion was better than the other. Throughout my life, I have had friends of multiple religions (Catholicism, Methodist, Jewish, Muslim, Athiest, Christian, etc) and was raised to NOT judge them based on the symbol they wear on their neck or the building they use to worship but by the context of their actions and how they treat others. I also had friends of different color and ethnic backgrounds- African, Italian, German, Turkish, Sri Lankan, Chinese, Spaniard, etc. I was NEVER told that the borders that surround their country of origin was to be used to define them. I have also been friends with people who were considered poor and those who had an excess of money to spare. At NO time was I told that the rich person was better than the poor one simply by the dollar in their pocket. But despite how I was raised, I don’t understand how others were raised to be judgemental by saying that “those people” don’t deserve things, or people are of “the wrong color”, or because of the number of digits in their bank account they are “entitled” to be treated a certain way. What ever happened to treat others with respect, how you would want them to treat you, or to not judge a book by its cover?
