I Believe... That all people deserve respect as to their religious beliefs and that all religions lead to God. I have visited many churches, a few as far as Denmark and Norway. I’ve been to few temples and synagogues, sat in the sweltering heat of summer to witness religious revivals in public parks as a child. I’ve attended a religious event in a stadium, and one time went to one in a sports arena. All religions are beautiful, each in it’s own way. I feel at home in any house of worship.
