“We despise all reverences and all the objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our own list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.” ~ Mark Twain

The religious dogma you have chosen to profess is actually a prison cell for your Soul; keeping you locked away from the humble warmth & deep intimacy that can only be known while caring for others without thinking your spiritual beliefs are “better” or more “true” or more “real”.

I will admit, feeling “saved” is a very cozy cage in which to live, and yet a confining cage it remains. Choose Freedom instead … by first learning about other religions, and then by extending acts of open, selfless & active Kindness to their followers.

We are all ONE in the eyes of Heaven, my Friends …
It is high-time we started to ACT ACCORDINGLY.

Amen … Let it be so.

“So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel: “Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor’s religion is.” Not merely tolerant of it, mind you, but completely indifferent to it.” ~ Mark Twain

“I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who respects Him and does what is Right is acceptable to Him.” ~ Luke (Acts 10:34-35)
