Religion
G-d is not an Orthodox Jew, nor is G-d Conservative or Reform. What about you?

Religion is but a highly sophisticated system of spiritually mathematical rules that allow us to experience life and reality in a deeply meaningful way. The challenge of course is discovering the music in the notes, lest it be coerced piano lessons all over again. And this discovery is why you are here.
