As I've gotten older, I've found myself coming to a state of acceptance of things I don't like in this world. Not necessarily accepting that they are OK, accepting that there will be differences in belief systems all over the world and that is ok. My own beliefs are what is important to me and those are what I concentrate on. I also have learned to take what I like from religions and belief systems and discard what doesn't fit for me. I know that people like to throw around generalities about "Christians don't do this....." or other such nonsense, but for me, that isn't really important. What is important is "What Lisa won't or will do". It really is about self and what you are comfortable with. The BIG DOGMAS of the world may be comforting for some, but I find them too restricting so I utilize what I want and toss the rest.
I'm not sure if that works for all, but it seems to work for me at this point in my life. At least it provides me with some semblence of peace - and I like that.
