"Live and let live and the golden rule are two of my biggest beliefs." Assuming that they are Christians, "live and let live" is not a Christan belief. The "golden rule" definitely pertains here. I'd expect that any teacher in this situation, Christian or not, would probably be fired as well.
"I really dislike people who use their power or positions of authority to hurt others, or force others to act against their interests. That is really a pet peeve." What power did they have except complaint? You're saying that the parents have no right to complain? "I am disappointed in many people for being hippocritical, and failing to live up to their own beliefs, or at least their public statements about their beliefs (since the two are often at odds). This includes myself often enough." For a person who hates to be judgemental, you sure don't mind doing it. Me, I'll live with the fact that I judge everyone based on that person's actions. I don't mind saying that I do. It's the hippocrits that say they don't. I just realized that most people's idea of what Christianity is comes from TV. Someone created the myth that Christianity is supposed to be a religion of tolerance and acceptance of everyone exactly the way they are. That's only a half-truth - Christians will accept you for whatever you are, but they won't tolerate your crap. You'd better try to live right. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Skorp Croze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <cf-community@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 7:39 PM Subject: Re: Fear of religious fanatics >I don't know, is it? > > I don't hate anyone for their religion. > > I actually hate very few people.
