7:50 am
invent my own god or find a god i could live with. and that god has nothing to do with the ultra orthodox god. i not only do we don't believe that al gore gave us these here we believe it was written by people why is it sacred to us. it's not holy it's important and what's the difference between holy and important one is religious and the other is cultural. i would say that we grew up in a cult and a society that run the south very similar to north korea it's very hard for people that grew up in this world to be integrated into the western society anywhere in the world. but it is possible and find gotten is convinced others can do it too. but why do young jews
