I wonder if you ladies would go along with an experiment with me?

#1. Are you prejudiced?

#2. Do you discriminate?

I am sure I am prejudiced. I think everyone is, to a certain extent. It just depends on how and where you were raised. For example, I was raised in a small town in rural Tennessee. There were only two or three students (no teachers) of other races at my elementary school (over 700 students). At my high school, I could count the number of students of other races on one hand (2,000 students). I think the important thing is to be aware of your prejudices and try to work through them, which I have. When I got to college, I was very consious of being around people that I had never been around. But I have tried to overcome it.

On the other hand, I don't think I discriminate. By being aware of my prejudices, I have been able to work through them. What may have bothered me to a certain extent 5 years ago (for the simple fact that I hadn't been exposed to it before) doesn't bother me any more.

Wait, I'm still stuck on not speaking in church or teaching, and "If I do any of these things and have, I repent of my sins." You must be from a very strict sect. Stricter than Mary practiced. Wow.

I've always thought it would be a relief to have more answers than questions in life. I've not experienced that.

Yes and Yes.

I believe we all do. It may not be based on race or gender, but I think we all some group of people we are prejudiced against, and that we discrimate against.

Who gave you these rights?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."

Ah, yes, but the precise nature of "their Creator" is not specified. Anything in existence was created, that's also self-evident.

The nature of the creator is not germane to the rights we, as people, have.

#1. Are you prejudiced?

#1. Probably, but if I am, it is because I am ignorant.

#2. I would certainly hope not.
