		<description>Hi Zuzanna,

I agree totally that we should separate church/religions and politics. 

When I together with my brother were looking for a tombstone for the grave of our mother the guy who got our order to craft it asked us in what position and size we would like to have the cross on it.

It seemed to be an unusual situation for him when we told him that we didn&#039;t want a symbol on our mothers grave that stands for something we don&#039;t believe in. Nor did our mom. We decided to fill that place with a bronze rose. As far as something like a grave can look good, her grave does.

Thank you very much for taking the time reading this and commenting.

		<description>Hi Mario,

I could never understand the man made doctrine-when comes to Pope as a head of the church. The reason I say this because I believe that people shall get to know the Bible,
oldest World book and read about God. If one desires to be spiritual, they find God scriptures in that book. To me having religious leaders that are not suitable on such position it makes more harm then good. One more thing, it is the worst for any country to have the church mixing with politics. That is wrong to me too, you have made a strong points in your post. It is up to the reader to decide what will be best for them.
I leave it as is, because religion is a broad subject and one can go on this forever. 

Thank you, 
Zuzanna</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll try to do that all of the time. I mean being positive, motivating others.

Sometimes I fantasize that a hard voice shouts: &#039;What the fuck are you doing?&#039; and that at this very moment everybody freezes in what he is doing, looks back over his/her shoulder to see where it came from. Then after a view seconds of wondering starts to think on the things that are really matter and that the world can be so wonderful.

Good night and thank you for the comments!</description>

		<description>Mario! You&#039;ve hit the nail on the head. *pun intended*  God doesn&#039;t do things to us. We all have free will. Everyone has the freedom to make choices and unfortunately there are some bad people in the world that make bad or even evil choices that in turn affect others. I promise, I&#039;ll be done preaching to you. I&#039;m clearly not an evangelist but I wanted to tell you that what the enemy has intended for our destruction, God can use for our instruction. I get so sad when people blame God for the bad things that happen. I even get tired of people blaming the devil. We all do what we do and the repercussions can be mind boggling, creating a ripple effect that we may never even realize. That&#039;s why it is so important that we seek the truth and do and say good things, always. Just think of those ripples moving through the world. Peace, Mario. You rock!</description>

		<description>Thank you for reading this, Kelly.

Of course I don&#039;t mind if you say God bless. I appreciate your tolerant approach.

When I watch the news and all this weird things in the world I have to think on a the statement Tom Hulce made in his role as Eugene in the movie &#039;Dominique and Eugene&#039; (co-starring Ray Liotta and Jamie Lee Curtis).

In this scene he stares at the crucifix in the church with the Jesus figure nailed on and says to the pastor: &quot;If I were God, I wouldn&#039;t do this to my children.&quot;</description>

		<description>I really enjoyed your writing. I am a christian and I just want to say I&#039;m so sorry that you&#039;ve had such negative experiences concerning the church. I think so many of us are taught things &quot;in the name of God&quot; that simply have nothing to do with Him. I was raised catholic too, and I didn&#039;t even know that Easter was a celebration of the resurrectin until I was 14 years old. People have free will. People can say whatever they want about anything. It doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s true. I love the Lord and I know the Lord loves us all and would not have any of his children lost. That being said, I believe that all organized religion is nothing more than the reflection of man&#039;s perverted understanding of the truth.When you factor in politics, greed and the struggle for power, you have the formula for evil. Man&#039;s beliefs cannot negate the truth nor can his actions. Regardless of what I say or do, the truth is just that. The truth. And that fella who sent the letter to the gay person is in no way a good christian and Jesus wouldn&#039;t have spit on either of them.  I hope you don&#039;t mind me saying God bless.</description>

		<description>This is one of your best articles ever! I am so sorry about your young cousins. I loved the story about the pastor who taught you to play chess and the one about your brother beating you without seeing the board, that was brilliant! I too am an atheist and I prefer it that way. I feel very comfortable not believing in god and I think it helps me feel more responsible for my life. That doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t have a spiritual side. And I certainly don&#039;t believe in institutionalized religion. Charities are one thing, but they don&#039;t have to be religiously based. Keep up the good work.</description>
