Buckle in, guys! “I think religion does hold us back because it’s belief systems which are outside ourselves. They’re not dealing with who we are, we’re dealing [with], ‘Oh if God says this and God does that’, and you go, ‘Well what is God?’ We’ve created...
But if your doppelganger is forever spouting extreme views that range from the ridiculous to the outright offensive, well, that would be no fun at all.
