Truthiness or Consequences Speaker: Emily Quarles-Mowrer
I have a quote hanging by my computer that says, “It’s okay to believe what you believe. It’s not okay, however, for you to insist that everyone else believe the same as you.” In the context of religion, I am able to uphold that principle absolutely. My belief is that only your own conscience can tell you how to honor what is holy. When applied to more quotidian
concerns, I am less able to allow for differences. For example how can I refuse to insist that everyone believe in the inherent worth and
dignity of each person?
