Why are we offended by who others are?

Morning: Psalm 63:1-8; 98; I Kings 12:21-33; Acts 4:18-31
Evening: Psalm 103; John 10:31-42

In some places in Canada, it is illegal to wear outward signs of faith at work.  But why teach children to be offended by, or afraid of faith?  Is it wrong to invite me to understand you?  If you do not impose, but simply live your faith, how is that offensive?  Some called Jesus’ belief ‘blasphemy’ and wanted to stone him.  It’s not stoning or killing, but surely it is life-denying for both of us if I do not allow you to be yourself. Will Love (which is an outward sign of faith) be illegal soon?
