Whatever other difficulties the story may suggest, it makes me wonder:A Muslim academic has opened a gay-friendly mosque in South Africa, despite receiving death threats and fierce criticism from parts of the local Muslim community.Women will also be allowed to lead prayers at Taj Hargey's "Open Mosque" in Cape Town.
If equality were the goal of any religious persuasion, and if that goal were somehow attained, would/could the religious persuasion any longer exist?
I have a hunch that's one of those questions you're not supposed to ask.
I don't think gods share our enthusiasm for equality. When we aspire to knowledge we're flunked out of paradise. I don't think one can be jealous and sharing.
