It may not be exactly that people don't believe there is a right and a wrong that is concrete, but more that they may feel the way I do on this matter. I am not God. I know that I believe certain things to be right and wrong, but the thing is, I don't know for certain if everything I believe is right is truly right, and if everything I believe is wrong is truly wrong. Therefore, I cannot judge people past a certain point without opening myself up to intense judgement. I don't want to get to Heaven one day and have God look down at me and say, "You expected people to listen to your beliefs and tolerate what you thought of as right, but you refused to tolerate them; to listen to them? I should judge you the same way." And I don't want that to happen. My religion, my beliefs in general, the way I live my life; these things are intensely important to me. I know the same things have to be important to everyone else as well. Who am I to tell them, as only God can, what it is they should or should not be doing? I am only human as well. Sinful. Weak. My only hope is to love as much as I can and try to live *my* life according to what *I* feel is right.
Now, of course, there ARE certain things that go too far; that I do stand up for. I don't believe in the worship of evil, I don't believe in violence and hatred and intolerance, I don't believe in the death of the innocent. These and others are the things I will stand up against. And maybe it seems that, in all other things, I am being immoral and letting people go about doing whatever they please...but the Jesus I believe in taught love of God and your fellow man first and foremost, and there is no love in tearing down another person's beliefs; there is only destruction. Beliefs, after all, are the only crutch some people have to stand on. And it is incredibly hard to legislate what is and isn't moral, unless, of course, you are God Himself.
Now, I don't wanna get off on a rant here, but...
