bdclark:

agree, traditionalists and literalists should be met with the challenge
that we should never be expected to be mindless automatons.

So, Yes, if you're a literalist/traditionalist, this could be
misguiding, but I do feel that the intention should revolve around that
of the individual (the `I', if you will) since in reality, the
only actions you can control are your own, and that it should NOT be
yourself that is the ultimate consideration.  Furthermore, I feel that
you should teach/express your ideals to others in a way that they may
take that and make it their own.

And of course, I'm offering a piece (a peace).  However, I would
like to think we're baking this together J

You've made mention a story and how misuse of good intentions were
involved, and it's total shame that this still happens today.  Along
the same lines, there's another discussion very similar, and funny
enough, I mention not only the Golden Rule, but the entire passage where
this is pertinent in many beliefs today (the whole idea that tradition
needs to be challenged).
