About This Quote
The only thing that is still free in this world is religion, which is why a lot of people “find it” and how they seem to “find themselves.” The entire world belongs to whoever can own it and they will do anything to own it. This includes the areas of the mind and brain as well as the people who believe they have found it. Religion is not something that most people enjoy growing up with. With most preachers teaching that “you do not need God” or that you can find yourself if you just look hard enough, the idea of religion has been made into something that many people want to avoid. However, if you want to live a life without regrets or a life filled with hope, you will learn everything you need to know from religion.
