Do you have advice for dealing with hateful posts in a tag I want to utilize? I am Jewish, and I want to use the #judaism and #jewish tags for my posts, but I don't see a lot of other Jewish people using them, just Christians or people writing anti-Jewish conspiracy posts. It's really hurtful to read, but I don't know what I can do to clean up that tag.
Hmmm, that is a tough one. It is situations like this that further support my position that Religion causes division, and my belief that our Creator does not support Religion. That being said I feel bad that your belief system is attacked. I would like to take a second here to say I am so happy for you since you have found a path that connects you to our Creator. Now, as far as what to do about the tags. I would say that education may help and maybe posting things showing how you love. Or by providing examples of your love in action. Do it all in the name of our Creator and His love. Then as people get to know you for the good you do and the love you show, they may eventually find out that you are Jewish. This may help others see you and your people as "just some loving people" instead of a religious group. This is a very hard one for me to answer because the ways of the world have forced me to pull away from religion and not become involved in the disagreements or conversations between the different religions. I will let you know, but I personally love all Jewish people because above everything else they are people and they deserve love. Our creator made me and all of us because he loved us so I figure that's a pretty good reason to love all of his people also. I know that this probably hasn't been a whole lot of help for you and for that I apologize. I guess, all I'm trying to really say is that I believe above all things the natural pure love that comes from our creator is truly the most powerful force the can cause change. So use It to help you bring about change.
If it were only my belief system being attacked, it would hurt less. But it's actually people who believe that Jews, as an ethnic group, are evil. It's a racial attack, and it's very scary. Perhaps, however, there is nothing I can do about it other than continue to be myself, which I shall do whole-heartedly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
