&quot;I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It&#039;s just that the translations have gone wrong.&quot; ~John Lennon<br /> <br /> &quot;I believe in everything until it&#039;s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons.
