Your Dad's point is good. It's what drives people away from community. People's perceptions get rooted to the extent that people targeted aren't free to be themselves. The reality, if unchecked, leads to people splitting up. Hmm.
Perceptions can be wrong, and have to be checked. I think it's overly cynical to state perception = reality, without clarification.
Seems to me that christians, or someone of any religion I suppose, tend to agree with my dads argument. My mother agrees, and I even asked around at school today...there's a lot of religious people in my school considering Where I live
What do you mean when you say "The reality, if unchecked, leads to people splitting up."?
