Are Protestant Faiths Safe?

I am writing this blog in light of the increase in hate groups and hate crimes which have become very troubling. Many are White Supremist's but I'm sure not all.

From the history of the bible, we know that Jesus was Jewish but started and inspired the Catholic religion. This is the first Christian religion.

Protestant religions branched out from the Catechism because humans wanted to tweak and refine their beliefs. They were started by man; therefore, have the potential to be harmful IF they were started by a person or a group of people whom have a personal agenda.

How do we know the difference between a safe and unsafe faith group? By open-minded research. There are several websites that take a unbiased review of faith, one of my favorites is http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_inte.htm .

Regardless of our own personal faith, I think the basics are to stay tolerant and loving of all people regardless of their faith, race, sexual orientation.

Whether you are christian, wiccan, buddist, agnostic, or believe in karma, love and acceptance is the most important of all. Do not judge others because they are different because no one faith is the absolute.
