Gods and Devils

We built the Great Pyramids of Giza. We made the Atomic Bomb. We discovered herbs to heal. We grow viruses in underground labs. Religion was created to bring peace. Religion was also created to divide. Books have been written to inspire, but also to spread hatred. We have made love in war, and war in love. Different races have united, and people of one blood have divided. We are gods and devils....

very true teddy, man has equal capacity for good and evil..thanks for being a mentor.. ...the good book says you are gods today i have begotten you, yet like sons of men you will fall... (of gods and fallen(devils).. at the end they fall down here earth.. adam and were cast down here, satan and his angels were cast here, this is the real where glory is reclaimed, the realm to attain honour, the realm of gods.. a mortal is but a fallen god.. a mortal is a god indeed.. ***lewis Nyaga
