I believe in the Golden Rule. It has been presented in many formats by many religious and philosophical leaders from the beginning of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule
Jesus himself, stated that it was one of the 2 greatest commandments and yet some of his "followers" find it difficult, if not impossible to obey. In fact, I find it nearly impossible to obey in regards to one particular group myself. It disturbs me more that I want to take action in the form of violence against them than it does the horrific things they do in the name of Jesus.
These people cling to the Old Testament law, which Jesus said he came to abolish and to the laws of Paul, more than to the love of Jesus.
I pray everyday that the Golden Rule will prevail in the lives of humanity, but some people just never seem to abide by it. It is disheartening.
