It is time to stand up for what is right


I’m not out of touch. I do read about all the hell going on in the world. Radicals of all religions are doing shit that shouldn’t be done in the name of their god. Perhaps I am becoming a radicalized secular humanist. Maybe it is time I stood up and screamed and held up my (okay, is there a religious book for secular humanist) and shouted, “This is just wrong.”

America has a serious presidential candidate who is preaching hate and venom. It is time to stand up and speak out. Some say he is un-American, that his hate has no place in this country, but we have a history of hate in the United States.

It is time each one of us screamed from our rooftops that this kind of bigotry is not right. That prejudice has no place in our county. Be it blacks or Jews or Hindis or Sikhs or gays, we each have something to give to the world of people.

Yes, even Muslims have a place at our table. And attempts to silence or limit or marginalize them are wrong and hateful. 

Stop the spread of radicalism. Join hands.
