Tolerance doesn’t need to be linked with religion

By EDDIE FILER

First of all, let me say that I’m an agnostic and don’t believe that there is a God who cares whether we’re homosexual or not. If God created homosexuals in his image, then God must be homosexual.

I agree that gay people should have all the rights that are afforded heterosexuals. It is against what is right to persecute and make unkind comments about anyone who is different, and homosexuals are different in the way they love a person of the same sex. We would be better off if we could learn how to be accepting of people who are different.

Being a non-believer, I don’t believe that there is a God who has a plan for anyone on this Earth. I must accept the theory of evolution, because the religious teachings about God’s plan for Earth doesn’t make any sense. Why would God’s plan have homosexuality, which is not the norm? Why would God’s plan be to have so much hatred and disunity about why we are different?

We have come a long way during the last half-century. Gay marriage is even being considered. Homosexuality is no longer considered a sin. Science has increased our understanding, but we have a long way to go to bring about a truly enlightened society
