I've been doing a lot of reading about Justice Scalia; and I'll admit that I wish I could be more like him and Justice Ginsberg. I don't have many friends on the other side of the political spectrum (family members but not friends) and so much of my identity and priorities are wrapped around my politics. Good thoughts!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663774794063027652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-77378902054650357422012-10-28T11:55:04.374-05:002012-10-28T11:55:04.374-05:00I find this post interesting and timely. I am cur...I find this post interesting and timely. I am currently reading two books (both by the same author). Okay, wait, I'm currently reading 4 books, but the two that are relevant to this post are: "Parenting Beyond Belief" and "Raising Freethinkers." These books discuss the tenets of respecting another person even if you don't respect or share all of their beliefs. They talk about encouraging your children to question beliefs, to form their own beliefs, to not simply believe what's been handed down to them as tradition (though tradition has an important place, in many ways, it is not always a reason to take on a belief unless someone has first been given a chance to question it and to determine that they, too, share that belief). They talk about ways to think about teaching children morals and values without necessarily doing so within the framework of an organized religion. I think all of this is in line with your post, and I hope you and I can continue to find that we share many ideals and mutual respect even if we disagree about religion.MRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273667096816207202noreply@blogger.com
