That is what happened to me. Get away from the brainwashing centers and people see things a whole different way whether they still want to believe in a higher power or not. There is no peace to be found in church buildings.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-47259825832682272882008-08-01T09:50:00.000-05:002008-08-01T09:50:00.000-05:00I never understood people bowing down and practica...I never understood people bowing down and practically worshiping the priests and pastors just because they don fancy robes and give themselves a title.
