Still loving thy neighbor

The Velveteen Rabbi has a lovely post about This week’s Torah portion: on loving our neighbors. As alluded to in my previous post, I see a lot of argument over religion in the world, but I’d be happy if people of all (and no) religions were able to come together on this issue. I’m fine with people who hold different beliefs about the nature/existence of God. My issue is with people who use their religious beliefs (regardless of how close they may or may not be to mine) as justification to treat some people as lesser.
