If everyone of every religion lived by the 'rules' of those religions -- ALL the rules, the world would be totally different. There would be no freedoms at all, if there was anyone left on the planet.
Intollerance is a human trait. Not a divine one. Adapting our human selves to whatever doctrine one believes is the best any of us humans can do. One diet for everyone is not going to work for everyone. We adapt the diets to include the foods we can eat - those we like and those we are not allergic to and those available to us. Same with religion. I can't stand apples so I don't eat them. The diet I follow has alternate choices or I make my own choices based on my body type and how I can live with said diet. Isn't it the same with religion? Those directions we receive and 'rules from the guidebook' are not always absolute and its impossible to live by all of them.
To support my family I must take whatever job I can get -- even if it means I work on Sunday. I alter my belief and pray and hope I don't go to hell because of it.
