God's villages

Once there was a man walking in a field with God. As they passed near a village, God asked the man if he knew the people living there. The man said he did. God asked him if he knew their religion. The man said “they are Jews.” The pair continued to walk and eventually they passed beside another village. God asked the man if he also knew the people in this village. The man said he did. God asked him he knew their religion. The man said “they are Muslims”. They continued walking and saw more villages. One was Christian. Another was Hindu. One was even Buddhist. God asked the man why the villages had different religions. The man thought about it for a long time. The only answer he could give was that the village children learned their religion from their elders, who were taught by their elders, going back generations, all the way to their prophets. God asked the man if he could explain why a certain child was born in one village and not another. The man said “only you know that”.

Hi Dear Damon!
Thanks, Really Thanks for your Pics. I feel I am traveling with you. Pics remember simplisity and sincerity. your slide show was beautifull. but what is peace? now a day the meaning of Peace is lost, is lost in lie, avidity, war ... . in this situation can you really be in Peace and still be a free man?
