May I first of all preface my comments by extending my deepest sympathy to the family of John Allen Chau, the man who was killed by an indigenous tribe on an island in the Andaman Sea recently.
Although Mr. Chau assuredly felt that he was on a divine mission, the tribes people felt otherwise as they sought to continue to defend their sacred way of life from these types of unwanted intrusions.
Don't force your beliefs on another. This lacks respect for their dignity and their sacredness, for there are many paths to the Divine, however we define that term.
All are sacred and holy in the eyes of the One who created us, each with our own vision and way of Being in the world.
As we move into Unity Consciousness, let us all remember that as spokes in a great Wheel of Life each of us has something profound to say and contribute.
No one or no belief system is greater than another. Having said that I believe it is important not to judge another lest we judge ourselves, but in no way does this mean that we condone evil in any way. We must always make our voices heard in the face of it.
