“Worldwide, more than eight-in-ten people identify with a religious group,” says a comprehensive demographic study of more than 230 countries and territories conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life.
If this is true and so many people believe in god and religion, how can we be so mean to each other? So many religious people in the world, so little love.

My wish is that all the people in the world who believe in a god (which is something like 80-85% of the population), would find a loving god to devote their lives to. A god who values the existence of every human life in this world and not just one's soul in the after life. I wish for a religion that teaches it's members to value life and to live every day filled with love and wonder. I wish for a religion that does not teach people that what matters begins after death. I wish for a religion that teaches people that there is no L in God, gold is not god, humans need to stop worshiping money and start sharing and caring for each other. I wish for a religion that teaches us that the greatest sin is to pass judgement on other human beings. Since a belief in a god is such a persistent meme my wish is that all people learn to channel that need to believe in one into something good and meaningful. I wish we could learn through god how to love one another.

My goal is to learn to accept things more. To laugh louder. To love harder.

Happy New Year
everyone!
