I Believe In Having A More Open Mind And Including Others Who Don't Share Your Faith And Having Dialogue With Them. And Just Having A Pure Heart And Being A Good Person Can Bring You Closer To God.

A Lot Of People, When They Say Forgive And Forget, They Think You Completely Wash Your Brain Out And Forget Everything. That Is Not The Concept.
