When it comes to religion or those who consider themselves religious, it seems simple golden rules are often overlooked.
For example: “Treat others the way you would want to be treated yourself.”
I can give a few examples how this isn’t followed: marriage equality, equal rights, freedom of religion, etc. There are religious prophets that drank and liked to have a good time, but when it comes to those who profess (claim) to be religious, they are often against drinking and think anything that is illegal is illegal for a reason and should stay that way.Ignoring simple truths of such golden rules and equality. When it comes to social issues, they seemed to be ignored and equality goes out the window. If it isn't part of a religious persons way of life, as in something they don't do or "agree with", they are against it.
Why is that? Why should any one religion have any say so in how someone else should live their lives if they are not part of that religion? Not only that, but why should any religious person feel as if they have the authority to speak for their god when they clearly don't?
