Christianity Quote by Dan Brown
““And your students,” Sato demanded, “don’t find it unnerving that Masons meditate with skulls and scythes?” “No more unnerving than Christians praying at the feet of a man nailed to a cross, or Hindus chanting in front of a four-armed elephant named Ganesh. Misunderstanding a culture’s symbols is a common root of prejudice””
