What about that graven image, the happy Buddha? (This actually hangs from a mobile over my granddaughter's crib) What about regarding cows as sacred? (no Hindus in the family yet) Or how can honor killings be right? (No Kurdish Muslims in the family either) But if there were, HOW, do I love them and accept how they view God? It's not easy. I've been on the "other side" of religious fundamentalism for a few years now, and I try to remember to love them, too. It is definitely the way of the cross.

I am in control,etc. How wrong we were/still are. Because we have lived in this mind-set for most of our lives that it is ALL about ME. I am in control,etc. How wrong we were/still are.
