"Oh, I can't talk to _____, they're not ______[christian, pagan, sharing my belief system.]"
change to
I CAN talk to them. I CAN work with them. I CAN achieve understanding and rapport. Because I AM [christian, pagan, living my life according to my belief system.]
My interactions aren't about controlling the other person, or making them think and believe as I do.
If I am working to be in alignment with my best thoughts, my most open heart, my best 'me'...I can talk with or work with ANYONE.
Just by giving up judgement and giving up needing or expecting them to behave a certain way.
Is this naive or foolish?
or is this me thinking & acting from LOVE rather than FEAR, as I've wanted to do & been trying to do for a long time now?
hm.

Re: Belief systems can come between good people...
How I SHOULD have said that is
I AGREE. what you say is true its the people that matter, not the 'belief systems'.. good people, left to thier own could get along just fine.
I do note the exceptions where I've found someone self choosing that lable was pretty much a screaming warning in itself...
