A charter that promotes acceptance but brands non-conformers as fundamentalists? There is a lot of gray area in religion and driving a wedge between them all sounds like it may do more harm than good. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for promoting acceptance within spirituality but drawing a line in the sand seems confrontational. Religion has a way of evolving with local and global trends. Acceptance is a growing movement and I would like to see it shape religion rather than attempting to force the issue.

About the only logical conclusion to all this is to give up on the supernatural and old books and just be nice to people. The idea that something is ok “because it’s religion” is rubbish! If it’s not ok outside the religion then it’s not ok!
I’m not religious at all (can you tell?) but that doesn’t mean I have no guidance or morials!

Given that a large portion of humanity will continue to support churches, i just think it's a good idea for some of those churches to be encouraged to commit to focusing on the tolerant aspects of their teachings (OWD).

Perhaps Dave, but I think that's your interpretation, not the Churches.
Like with your examples. I sure most Christian churches would not consider themselves as supporting gender discrimination because they refuse to ordain women. They would have some other perhaps "historic" excuse or it's in the bible or something. Like wise, the Roman Catholic Church does not condemn homosexuals, no, only practicing homosexuals.

it shines at night but fades too soon
fair luna moon, fair luna bright

It's all great, but subscribing to your ideas would mean I would have to tolerate scientology.

It seems to me, that your charter idea is an attempt to pick out all the things that you like out of a religion and disregard the things that you do not. If you were to do this, how would you change anything about yourself? You certainly would not need to change because all you would have to do is omit the areas of your religion that did not comply with your lifestyle.

Those who defend homosexuality have got to understand that when you are discussing homosexuality with someone who feels that it is a sin you are no more going to change their mind than they are going to change yours without a complete change of their moral mind set.
