And because I do respect others, those who do not accept what is called "Christianity", I tried very hard to reflect in my statement that was not addressed to them.

Yeshua and his teachings mean little to an animist, or a Shintoist, or a Wiccan. And yet...and yet...my readings in these and other religions show an interesting overlap with the teachings of Yeshua and, yes, the "Old Testament."

Don't kill without necessity. Don't steal. Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Respect your neighbor.
