Reminded of real religion

In: Religion, bigotry

Listening to some of the quotes from the Amish people this week reminded me of what religion should be like - kind, non-judgemental, forgiving.

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
