ReplyDeleteI believe organized religions are limiting, but spirituality in general is liberating.
I believe the secret to world peace is to focus on what we have in common rather than what divides us.
I believe sincere, heartfelt prayers have an impact - although now I'm starting to have my doubts. It' hard to believe when you don't see immediate results, or when things go the opposite way than what you prayed for.
