“ God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Gen.1:27). Why must we judge people by their outer appearance? We all do it, whether we intend to or not. Why must we hate people because they look different or believe something different? The only way this world is going to change is if we learn to accept people for who they are on the inside and not what we see on the outside. Growing up my mother and father decided the most important thing to teach my siblings and I was to not judge others for being different, but to embrace them. Being different from one another is a great blessing, as it makes the world a more interesting place to live in. It saddens me to even think how much hate was projected towards each other just because of different religious beliefs and upbringings.
