Reply #376: Organized patriarchal religions have been pressured to change --

[defendandprotect]

and fortunately we no longer find the anti-Jewish fervor that Christianity once

displayed -- or those who supported enslaving the African here based on Bibical teachings!

Not sure that we have yet freed the "pagan" from their intolerance?

Certainly a long history of Christianity abusing the Native American -- native peoples in

general!

The hierarchies of organized patriarchal religions have to be held accountable --

but we do need consciousness-raising among members -- that's what creates change!

When parishioners walk out, for instance, when any priest is preaching intolerance and

hatred for homosexuals.
