Fundamentalism

I found myself thinking about fundamentalism. The challenge lies in trying to make something complex operate by a certain set of simple rules. One could never make enough rules to make everything fit or work.

in my own way, i am a fundamentalist.

love God(the divine, pick the name that makes you feel good) with all you've got.
love your neighbor (everyone) as you'd like to be treated.

Ignorance

Ignorance is a common and natural mental state, it is simply the act of ignoring one set of information in order to focus on some other set. Everyone does this. Many people have not had the time or the guidance or the curiosity to focus on what others may consider meaningful data sets. This does not entitle one to ridicule another, this is an opportunity for us to learn about the information that engages them, and also an opportunity for us to share new realms of knowledge with them.
