Religion, Belief, and Your Neighbour's Nose

So you believe in God.

So you don't.

So you want to know what I believe in, you want to know it all.

Well, I believe in love, golf gods (lower case but vengeful characters), chocolate helps deal with dementors, and that my neighbour is important.

If you want to talk about religion, then go, walking please, talk to a Priest or a person who you feel has a closer connection to God than you do. Just don't go to your neighbour and start shouting, biting, kicking or shooting. Because your freedom, to borrow John Stuart Mill's phrase, ends at your neighbour's nose.

And lest you feel you have an obligation to save others, please remember the Golden rule or the saying of the Prophet PBH, or the words of the Torah or the words of Confuscious...

Don't bother others unless you are willing to listen to them talk back to you. Be good to your neighbour.
