We should all applaud the religious, nonreligious and governmental groups/individuals around the world who profess/practice “justice for all” and compassionately fight poverty, condemn greed and work against exclusionary issues. Some of these groups/individuals, while wonderfully working to reduce poverty and addressing greed, still have discriminating practices such as:
1. Promoting lower working wages and denying leadership roles for qualified minorities and women.
2. Prohibiting reproductive control choices.
3. Denying same-sex marriage.
Groups/ individuals are certainly entitled to their exclusionary opinions/beliefs as a choice applied “only” to themselves. However, if “justice for all” is their intention, then they should not be permitted to impose or legislate their exclusionary beliefs directed against the rights/choices of minorities, women and gays.
The solution, admittedly challenging, requires eliminating exclusionary beliefs, thereby bringing everyone under the umbrella of working towards “justice for all.”
