Acceptance or not

So everyone that has kept up with my blog may or may not agree with my decision a couple of months ago. Some may not even care, and that is alright. What I have ran into is decisions that pertain to my children. Just because we are teaching our children to be tolerant and respect people of this world does not mean we are leading them down the wrong path. What is wrong with teaching our children that it is alright to love everyone? What is wrong with letting them choose what religion if any they want to belong to? Jesus was not apart of one religion and he walked among the worse of the worse. I feel that if he were around this world he would not be judging, but being with the crowd no matter who they were. I just recently reconnected with an old friend, that I have not spoken to in 10 years. I asked him for forgiveness for my ignorance towards his life and decisions. I have realized that life is way too short to be held back by regrets, second guesses, and being angry. I should be more at peace with myself, because I am happy. I am just angry on how people treat other people because they are not following a certain path or not doing what others want them to do. I want others and myself to be happy and that means being in a religion or not than so be it, but do not force views on people.

We have had this conversation many times in our house and with others and we all come to the same conclusion, if people would just accept how others are and not try to change them, the world would be way better. This doesn't just include religion but all aspects in life. As long as a person is not becoming a danger to society like pedophiles, murders, and so forth, let them live the way they want to and not criticize.
