About This Quote
In the name of God, they stole her time and her freedom, putting shackles on her heart. They preached about God's kindness, but preached twice as much about his wrath and intolerance. The idea of God is not only to bring people together; it is to make them become better people. The Lord is not a person who sits in heaven and judges us with anger and rage.
The Lord lives with us and he wants to help us become better persons. It is because of the teachings and beliefs of the Lord that we can live in peace and harmony with each other.
