The note in the photo was distributed at a halloween parade this weekend in Illinois.
I wish I could say this was shocking...but, the fact that this type of bigotry and ignorance is still prevalent makes my stomach turn!
This person clearly has no idea what religion truly is...except for a way to express judgement toward others.
What is comical to me is that the note says "they will have messages about tolerance, diversity, equality, respect, and acceptance"...isn't that what you should be teaching in any religion?
Honestly, how closed-minded can you get? I mean...reading this letter, as it speaks of respect and equality, how could someone hand this out in a crowd and actually think this was acceptable, or fitting of any religion?
I know that all religion, or all religious people don't think or feel this way...but it really makes me sad to know that so many of these small-minded bigots still exist in modern society. And, that they are making such an effort to spread their hatred and ignorance to anyone that will listen.
But, what is a comforting thought to me is, when the judgement does come...this person is going to be shocked to learn that they are the biggest sinner of them all!
