The power is within you, not without.
No person or organization has the power to forgive us.
Only we can discover it for ourselves.
Only we can know the truth for us and about us.
Everything else is a placebo to calm our mind, emotions, and imagination.
We must discover the responsibility we have for the life we have created.
There is no escaping this if we hope to change.
Change only occurs when we see ourselves from within and without the influence of others.
Religions do not bring change.
They feed our mind, emotions and imagination with Novocain to dull the pain from the reality of seeing who we really are.
They can prevent us from discovering the truth within us.

religions do not bring change, couldn't agree more. they exist to uphold existing power structure
