When will monotheistic religions take steps to end sectarian strife?
When will monotheistic religions of "The Book" acknowledge that their scriptures were written at a specific time and for people living in specific circumstances? And the writings should be viewed as Philosophical guides, not laws for modern times.
When will religious educators inform students of, and stress, the metaphorical nature of scripture?
When will All religious leaders condemn violence which is inflicted in the name of the deity?
The time was yesterday. The time is now!

Not out of step…
Here’s an interesting article about same-sex marriage.
Here’s an interesting quote from that article: “…same-sex marriage, has shocked conservatives. But this innovation has moved so far so quickly only because it is not at all out of step with the institutions and ideas of our time.”
The author of the article is Andrew Sullivan; the author of the quote is “Marriage equality opponent Daniel McCarthy.”
The article is brief; it is well worth your time, as will be the discussions the article will engender.
