Forget the name or religion, what word describes what you find to be worthy?

Love, honour, power, money, enlightenment?

When you serve this purpose daily, in your life.. you are fulfilled? Brings you contenment, happiness? Its a focus that you return to that you know has meaning.

Like when you hire lawn maint crew, or contractors... do you try to look for different races, genders, religions, etc? Do you even care or do you care about the quality of work, reputation, trust, cost? Would you favor say... a lesbian/black/white/jewish/muslim/male/female cake baker over someone else? Or do you only care about reputiation, quality of product, cost?

The US government may not be imposing requirements on corporations, but you can certainly be hiring people of all classifications and differentiations. You get the dollar vote!

To me the answer is obvious. I've never asked someone if they are LGBTQ! straight or anything else. I don't care. I want to know the cake they bake is good quality, within cost I'll pay. I didn't ask my water service company about their hiring policies... it's none of my business.

But you can... if that's what you believe.

Obviously, religion has played a critical role in shaping our history. It has been fundamental to Western and American history. On one hand, atheism and agnosticism have risen over the last 100-200 years. And this has coincided with the rise of political ideologies. Based on this, do you think political ideologies are just new forms of religion? Like religions, they are based on sacred beliefs (which seem like truths to devout believers), hating non-believers (look at all the hate that Trump and Biden believe) and they even limit critical and rational thought (such as strongly disliking something that the president we oppose does when a president we support does the exact same thing, such as giving pardons or raising budget deficits). What do you think?
