Religion is a convenient bypass to the whole human experience. We can sin all our lives and then love God and ask for forgiveness and presto! I'm not one for religion, but your point about love over hate is simply stated in its brevity.

Thank you for your encouragement, Rob... As an elderly man once told me... There is forgiveness; but the stain remains... There's more to the repentance-forgiveness dynamic than meets the eye... Thanks for visiting my site, and Happy Weekend! ~ Light and Joy, Gershon

Looking forward to passing 'Go' and getting my 200 shekels. Nicely worded statement of faith, philosopher Gershon ~ Rich Uncle Pennybags

Rich Uncle Pennybags, Got any spare 1909 Lincoln VDB pennies -- or should I start a 'GoFundMe' website? By the way, after Nancy Pelosi's new initiative in the nation's Senate, I'll have to call you 'Rich Relative Pennybags' in the future! lol. ~ Dumbed-down Creature of 2021

I have a similar philosophy Gershon. Love wins! Hope you've been well and all the best for a great New Year !!

I didn't know whether I'd ever hear from a 'gentile-man' ever again. So glad that I have!! Nice to see your avatar, Mike, and glad that we share philosophies... If I may propose a shared 'crown.' You be the poet; I'll be the philosopher... Now I'm trying to figure out which one is worth two cents and which one is worth a whole dime! lol. Happy New Year to you and yours! Hope you're enjoying Florida! :) Stuck in Chicago (It could be worse!)
