religion is too commercialized. if u ask me.. never in my life can i even imagine people singing in e hall used for praying... i bet e a thousand of years, no one could even have imagined a place so full of mystery & holiness can be used for such blatent commercialized events with no respect.

guess what, if everyone is so anal about prophecies, this is what i believe. our stupidity is going to kill us，one way，or another...
