‘COEXIST?’ You First.
So I’m driving down the 405 in West Los Angeles, thinking about how I can’t exist while others who believe differently from me exist, when I see it – a blue bumpersticker on the back of a Prius with the letters of the word “COEXIST” replaced by a variety of religious symbols. Whoa. I’d never thought of just, you know, coexisting. Thank you, mystery middle-aged hybrid-driving guy with a goatee, for stripping off my mental blinders and allowing me, for the first time, to truly see a future of love and tolerance.
You really do want to know more so click right here. Do it. It is worth the read.
I especially love that bumper sticker. I wish that some of the right-wing Christian folks who push the notion that only Christians can be part of the Anti-Obama movement, would realize how hypocritical it is to assume that some of us who are patriots, ready to die for our Republic and have served our nation are Pagans, or Buddhists, or hold some other non-Christian beliefs. We all believe in the holiness of living things, and in all of the moral codes which make up the Ten Commandments. What is the difference??
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog - I agree that Coexist is code for "if you don't agree with everything I believe you're an intolerant racist".
