True, religion is sold. And dont expect anything other than a lot of marketing/selling(?) happening in the first place of worship(?) you had mentioned. Makes you want to puke when you realize how poorly these people have tried to mask their true motives. Seriously gentlemen and ladies out there, do we look like morons or are we really morons, blinded by the light reflecting from your polished deportment? I do not need to go to any place of worship to get me salvation... i can close my eyes, and slowly account for what i have done and need to do. I dont need to get into a covered space and blurt out my actions to get salvation, i dont need to climb a hundred marble steps to take me to the lord, and i dont need to hurt people to protect my identity. I only need to be ME... the Me who can take responsibility for my actions. Nice article regards, Jay Liked it very much.

We have the capability to build within ourselves an "ediface" that can be reached at any moment, day or night. An earthquake may, in a few minutes, level the most beautiful of temples, but nothing can destroy the peace that comes with knowing that, if God does exist, he is not the God that human beings have made him out to be.
