Wasting Their Lives on Homophobia

I love this cartoon posted on Wipeout Homophobia on Facebook’s wall.  I’ve always found it curious that there are so many people who spend such a huge amount of their time on the lives of other people.  Many, but not all, of these people say they are motivated by their religion.   If I remember right, most religions have several tenets that say you should do no such thing.  Such as:

“Do to no one what you yourself dislike.”

—Tobit 4:15

“Recognize that your neighbor feels as you do, and keep in mind your own dislikes.”

—Sirach 31:15

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

-Galatians 5:14

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven

-Luke 6:37
