I was born a Christian. In my family for generations people were buried in the ground when dying. That is how I was taught to do, and found anything else outrageous. But guess what, cemeteries belong to churches and you have to pay a tax to be allowed to be buried. Moreover you have to be bound to the church during your life not to be considered a heretical. Lately though a new wave appeared in the cities promoting an alternative, being incinerated when you die. All of a sudden I begun to realise that there is nothing to bound me of a priest or a church anymore… freedom
May I ask you on thing though? Your article reveals the fact that religion fervour is fed by one’s insecurities. Middle East is torn by religious wars of all sorts. What that tells about people’s self confidence there?
Brilliant depiction of how religions are born! ❤️👏👏👏 Great post!
Then imagine that in another village a drunken blue-face God appears… and that is how religious wars appear…
