就像人们所说的，一幅画胜过千言万语，我希望通过这些漫画，我能 更有力 得表达我的观点。我们对上帝和宗教的看法还停留在过去-我 们不断重复那 些古时候写的，已经过时的观点。就算一本书是一千 或者两千年之前写的， 也不能代表当时的人们有独特的见解，或者 众神曾在那时降临人间。古时候的人并不坏-他们只不过是记下了他们认为是对的想法，他 们记录下 来对上帝的观点，很大程度上受到了他们那时候生活的影 响。那时，残暴的 国王/独裁者和强人统治，要求人民顺从和忠诚， 以此给他们恩惠，这样的 形象就成了上帝的模版。至少有基督教和 伊斯兰教这些当今主流的宗教是这 样的。屈膝下跪，祈求仁慈，发誓对国王忠诚然后得到奖励-这是当时人民 的生 活，也是他们所记录的想法。不幸的是，即使今天的生活有很 大的不同，绝 大多数人仍然盲目地遵循这样的想法。通过我的书，我希望改变言论，为宗教和灵性注入新鲜的想法。 如果您想要联系我，邮箱地址是HeavenVsReincarnation@Yahoo.com
