I didn't ask you if your religious or spiritual tradition "allows" a particular belief.
I didn't ask you if you have the civil right as an American citizen to have that belief.
I didn't ask you what you've accomplished or what others say about you. I don't want your "good person" resume.
What I am asking you is this: If we strip away your religious or spiritual beliefs and your civil rights and leave you as a naked human being- what does your inner sense of integrity and humanity tell you about your words and actions which are hurting other human beings?
We aren't perfect. We fail, a lot. I do. But how does anything ever change if we don't ask ourselves the question?
