THE RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE

We all have equal rights. Okay?
We all have the right to believe in what ever we want. Right? Right...

But, this rights are okay for al long as they do not affect another person's right to the same rights. Right? Right...

My point is that if a person has the right to refuse a gay lodger in their house? why would some people try to force the landlord to try and not discriminate... when in fact that person has the right to who he allows in his yard?

Why is hard to swallow when you hear so called chistians and muslims say that other beliefs (especially in ancestors) are evil working with evil spirits?

I am not saying it is right to discriminate, but if we are to try and live together, and understand each other, is it then not to also try and understand those who disagree with us? We do not have to be in teh same space as them. Why would anyone want to be in the same space as people who think that what they do is evil is beyond me... but it happenes.

A conundrum- this is often what I've thought deeply about but came to no conclusion- I guess at the end of the day some rights are meant to trump others- the guiding spirit should be that of ubuntu and love- christians are never to hate and those that do are evil... you get my point!
