A New Religion Called Love (Belgium)
by Marisa Papen
It’s time we start believing in this life rather then focussing on the here-after. It’s time we start paying gratitude to our real God… Our earth. Our home that we all share. Our almighty earth that provides us with all, Nature our nurturer. It’s time we let the wind guide us. It’s time we free our trapped minds from this box filled with lies, It’s time we escape from the random rules, It’s time we burn the Holy Books, It’s time that we re-invent what it means to believe. Re-invent the word Religion. A universal message. A New Religion called, LOVE.
