Religion Breeding Hatred
Unfortunately, sometimes religion simply breeds hatred. In my personal opinion, this is not the religion’s fault most of the time, since the vast majority of religions are peaceful at heart. This is the fault of the practitioners, and of the leadership. And that’s a shame.
Two tennis stars recently announced that they were joining forces because they are great friends and have styles that fit well together. The problem? Sania Mirza is a Muslim and Shahar Peer is a Jew.

I agree that if you’re going to partner with anyone on anything, you have to have similar values/morals…but almost all religions DO have similar values/morals! If the girls didn’t feel comfortable playing with one another, they wouldn’t be playing. It’s a bit sad that the world can’t let them simply enjoy being a team, as well as being friends.
**On another note, I’m finally going on a much-needed vacation! Next week, you’ll see some posts by a few guest bloggers from around the network–these are not views that I necessarily agree with myself in all cases, but they are important views to read in a quest to find religion. See you all when I get back in July!**
