Fun read! Beautiful pictures! I do have to share a correction regarding your first sentence. Hinduism is henotheistic - meaning they worship their God but do not deny the existence or possible existence of other deities, nor assert that theirs is the correct/only one
I find this super interesting and important at a crucial time in our country that has foregone the separation of Church and State. As a lapsed Catholic, my reason for leaving (and there’s many) is mainly to do with the hypocrisy and dissonance between what the teachings could lead to (socialism, community and human rights) and what it actually has become (power, political badge, and shame-inducer).
No one on earth will ever come close to creating anything as beautiful as life, and no one can give a gift more beautiful then time to rest in peace after death. "Foxes have dens, birds have nests, the Son of Man has no place to lay His head" Matthew 8:20
Awesome read Lloyd! As a born and raised catholic who struggles with organized religion, it's so nice to remember that Jesus lived with and loved the poorest of the poor, the marginalized, the whores, the "street" people. THIS is the real teachings and actions that Jesus spoke of, not the mainstream of what we see in action across the US. Thanks for reminding us that there is still good to be had. Mucho love from Socal.

Interesting, the last picture is of the first Filipino Saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz.
