Mouthwash.

One of the most absurd things I heard recently was this:

She's Christian you see, so she's very helpful.

- Mother, telling her son

You can never say this for ANY religion. And really it means NEVER.

I have nothing against any religion, rest assured.

I like the stalls that sell rice with various dishes for you to choose from. The Chinese call it economical rice.

I like being given choices. Not everyone love standards.

I'm pretty sure everyone would like the liberty of choosing what goes down your throat.

I'm no different.

The ways of England are the ways of the world, my dear.

- Lady Bradley

They are the ways of one world, Lady Bradley - one I'm ashamed to call my own.

- Anna

Found out stuff about Haji today.

Men shave off hair signifying rebirth into true faith. Women merely cut a lock.

The lesson of Haji: How much are you willing to give up for God?

Maybe it's the freethinker part of me that doesn't quite click with this.

I believe in religious teachings, morals and values, no doubt, having been once a Buddhist.

I've learnt much from it, but to me it's merely education, just seemingly more sacred.

Nevertheless, everyone needs to believe in something.

I believe in me.

No one has any right to judge, for no religion is more sacred than the other.

But being still human, I question this:

Do pilgrimages have room for technology?

If it's a journey to a sacred place for religious reasons, it's your feet we're discussing, isn't it?
