[OdeToCivilization]

It's a shame that less than a 1000 person watched this video.

It's a shame that we live in the 21th century but still believe that there is only one protocol, one norm, one way to follow.

Religion and unfair laws are controlling everything, falsely claiming that they are just.

A secular state should come forward, and tolerance should be spread.

Peace \ /
