Dealing with Religious Strife - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Let’s talk religion today, and don’t worry – I’m not choosing sides or preaching.

With all the good that religion has given to the world, it’s been the crux of much of the bad, too. Wars almost all have had as their basis religious wrangling. Humans are hard-wired to be tribal, to fear and distrust those different from “our” tribe, and to try to convert others to our way of thinking and believing.

When you read the religious texts, it’s clear that all religions have beneficial tenets, and all have some parts that we would consider barbaric today.

I’ll never forget the day my late father-in-law started running down Jewish people. In front of his grandchildren. In my home. In the 21st century.

Maybe you know someone who’s backward thinking comes out of their mouth at times, too? Try not to argue – instead, look at them as if they just broke your heart, and then change the subject. If they persist, leave the room and don’t come back until the topic has changed.

People are entitled to their opinions – you don’t have to participate in them.
