[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 317625, member: 2459"] This may lean more towards political and I'm trying to word it in as a non specific way as possible but if it's too much...mods....do what you must. I agree with what Klmno said in the Ft. Hood thread. I know the current events in the world right now have put certain religions in bad light but just because someone is of one religion, doesn't mean they are all suicide bombers or spree shooters. Or for that matter, anti-semetic, white supremicists, clinic bombers, wife beaters or polygamists. I made my facebook status something about prayers and thoughts going out to those at Ft. Hood. A few minutes ago I deleted a comment someone made on it about how he wondered if we could now trust people of certain religions in the military. I deleted it immediately. I realize the climate in the world today is one of cautiousness and fear but for me....to single out particular religions...it's wrong. There are fanatics, extremists or terrorists in nearly EVERY religion. Look back in history and it's pretty evident. Judging a group of people based on the actions of some is never a smart idea and usually ends bad. Granted, I'm no expert by any means but from what I do know, the majority of the "major" religions all have some of the same basic standards. Be kind to each other, be kind to yourself and be as good a person as you can be. [/QUOTE]
