Golden Rule

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

When we kill, part of us dies, too.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

The hills are alive with the sounds of music. Birds, waterfalls, rustling leaves, rushing creeks, flowing rivers, falling rain, booming thunder, and, once in a while, humans playing instruments. Mountains inspire such a response in us. They inspire us, period. I readily understand why we have known mountains as places where we experience your presence.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I don’t perform miracles. I heal. Do likewise.”

[He did resist the temptation to win converts through miracles, but He never said this.]

D. Blog: Reversing the Golden Rule

No one appreciates violence or abuse done to them. To me this implies that the reverse of the golden rule should apply: “Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done to you.”

I can live with that.
