Famous love Quote by Sorin Cerin
“The future of mankind seems to be a religious one, and religion can be a way for the modern man or the man of the future to save himself, if it used appropriately and wrongfully as it was done by now. Religion must no and is not allowed to become a dictatorship of a divinity behind which interests alien to the scared self of the Man are hidden. Religion must be the mirror of the sacred self in which it can see its true splendour. Through religion we have to understand the way through which the human being finds its true freedom when it is referenced to the society to which he belongs. This path will lead the man to re-find himself in his own religion and not religion to re-find itself in man by force, by humiliating him and deeming him as null in front of the divinity.”
