On Religion: Christianity is a gift. Buddhism shaped you deeply. They point to something good in us. Real relics or not, it doesn't matter. Things seems to be less hopless. Taoism shows you that beauty and ugliness come from the same source. But I gently disagree—or maybe someone once added to it. In Jung: what we fear or hate in others is often in us too, buried and suppressed. So maybe the work is not just accepting duality, but integrating our own shadow. The Greek and Roman gods feels human and messy like us. They do not even always make sense. But maybe that's the point. Like the saints: they show us we are human too. Flawed. Still worthy. Islam teaches me something tender: if we have a bad thought, and if we do not act on it and replace it with a good one, is human Emotions are messages and human. God understands and forgives. As a kid, I always think that the Goddess of Mercy and Mother Mary look about the same. Maybe sometimes as human we are sort of limited and we are praying to the same God.

I am finally a Chrisitian now and probably a lousy one. I am still reading and learning from other teaching too to understand have a balanced view. I have a Buddha peacefully next to me, Goddness of mercy watching me too. It looks odd and like a cultural difference all together but it is comfortable and it makes sense for me.
