Gospel of the Long Walk, Vol. 2: What has bothered me for quite some time is that purported spiritual and faithful religious believers and followers are teaching our children, our communities, and others around us that are influenced by or have an influence on our daily interactions to hate. Yes, we are teaching hate and making that practice acceptable even in the canonical liturgy used for centuries in revered places of worship. We still have a duty to those who emulate our behavior to set moral standards, and that is a responsibility we should uphold and remember in this article and beyond. These idealistic conceptions and formulations of moral duty, both individual and communal, have a serious impact. If abused, that damage will take many generations to unlearn. What should concern us more is the answer to the question, why do we ingrain stories of eternal hatred? I can hear the protests already that this cannot be true. Tell that to Judas Iscariot.
