| Message | It is faith which made many people, many years ago, become suppressed by the church, punished by the church, working for the lands of their religion... It is good to learn religious studies but in the end... Why learn some rules? Learn about different beliefs... when you should practice one of them? You should have a good life, work with your conscience and be charitable and good to others... salvation is not brought by religion, it is brought by a good life... I think religion should be left out of schools... |
