Quote of the Day:
Every religion has a form of sacrifice in it originally, sacrifice is an important sort of thing, but if you were to go off and sacrifice a goat, it’s not really fair on the goat, is it? Burning money is the only thing that is sort of morally, not harming others. You’re just harming yourself. You’re giving with absolutely no possibility of receiving anything back. It’s pure forgiveness, it’s pure surrender, it’s pure sacrifice. So it’s potent stuff, it’s absolutely potent stuff.
