    It’s always important that we focus on commemorating, and creating lasting examples of society’s faults. So that we never forget, for the sake of not repeating history. It’s truly monstrous what mankind is capable of doing to one another, especially if it’s somehow encouraged. But, there are more pressing matters. A portion of government employees should be tasked with preserving our historical mistakes. The President, as Chief of State, needs to focus on successfully leading us into a prosperous future. Directly combating that which immediately affects the masses, such as America’s pestilent crime endemic would benefit more people quicker. Today, millions in our own country suffer from homelessness, poverty, addictions, physical/mental/emotional/sexual/drug abuse, medical conditons (caused by a miriad of pollutants in air, Earth, water, and diet), crime, harassment, and so much more.

    Well, it’s a relationship, not a religion. Religion leads to certain death (no eternal life in heaven, because earthly practices are meaningless without true devotion). Going to church doesn’t make anyone any better. Though, truly believing in your heart, and living your life as a good person will have you seen as a “child of God.” So, your truly believing friends may see this as extremely comical. All of these panels are described in the bible as idolatry. People who practiced such religions were wiped out in the old testament, by God’s order (to the Israelites), and doing.
