Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I think this is true in many ways. We are separating ourselves with our identifications of who we are. Yes, it tells others who we are, that is true. But some of the most spiritual people you feel that they are kind and compassionate with everyone, no matter who they are. I often think we should work our way to that. Kristina In a message dated 5/20/05 9:33:13 A.M.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 So who would get to decide what cookie cutter everyone should be cut from? Does everyone become Christian or Muslim or Buddhist? Does everyone become vegan? does everyone have to homeschool, buy organic, live in a "green" house, use solar and drive a biodiesel. Personally, the differences are what makes us "us" and I don't think a cookie cutter would make the world a better place. Or does everyone get to be different but are required to stay in the closet, so to speak, "don't ask, don't tell?"
