I am trying leave the U.S., not running away but an extended trip to Germany and Italy. Both my brother and sister have lived in germany for extended periods and have loved it. I am studying Germany and Italian, I hope to get good at them hopefully conversational.
I want to say something profound so I will us someone else words of wisdom. since I am only rambling.
"I"m often accused of being irreligious, and I suppose it's for this very reason. Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, or any other ism, when a religioin is created on the subtle premise that God withholds his love and you must submit to the system to earn that love, I consider it the worst of corruptions...
For centuries, the church has been telling us that if we want God to love us, we need to follow the rules. It's been far more important to focus on the sin problem than the love problem.""
