My purpose is to help people look at themselves and begin to shift their concepts. Remember, we are not our country, our race, or religion. We are eternal spirits. Seeing ourselves as spiritual beings without label is a way to transform the world and reach a sacred place for all of humanity. Wayne Dyer Religion

Malcolm X Religion
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. Martin Luther Religion
