"The hate and division on both sides".

[hamsterjill]

8. The hate originates from the side who wants to control how everyone else lives.

It's that simple. And it's simple for them to fix if they really want to fix it.

Let everyone do what they feel is best for their own lives and paths and stay the fuck out of people's lives as much as possible. Respect individual choices without trying to force your religious beliefs on someone else. Yes, we need laws and we need order to have a meaningful society. But those laws should do with safety and equality; not religious indoctrination. You know, like the founding fathers intended!
