When Hate, Bile and Intolerance Becomes a Way of Life
When you think more inclusively and more holistically, whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, etc., or an atheist, you learn to love and appreciate your fellow human being, and to be more tolerant and less judgmental of who and what they are.
