It’s never bad to put forward peace option

The cancer industry is failing us

Murder over offence is insane
The monotheisms of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are religions of the book; that is to say, they have literature deemed to either embody or express a message from God. As such, their books are considered sacred. It's right there in the names. The Holy Bible. The Holy Qur'an.
