It Takes All Kinds

We teach here that this Power that created us, this Power that continually expresses life through us, has no religion, no gender, no skin color, and no sexual orientation. This power is the Creator of all those things and the substance of all things, but it embodies none of them. We are the ones who make those distinctions. Differences are not a problem until we start judging or evaluating each other based on those differences, thinking they’re more important than they really are. Then, when other people have the nerve to judge us, we start to feel threatened, and we react. Then they react, and we react, and on and on and on. That’s when things like discrimination and prejudice start to rear their ugly heads, followed closely by terrorism, persecution, wars, genocide, and so on.
