I refuse to believe that God would make this a prerequisite to faith. In fact, I believe that sometimes religion can be a dark force. We see this in parts of the world where religion is being used to oppress, control and brainwash vulnerable people.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Life is fleeting;\u00a0it is here one day and gone the next. Young, old, white, black, gay, straight, liberal, conservative, christian, muslim…it doesn’t matter, no one is immune from the cycle of life.<\/p>\n
