Thanks CL. You know I’m an atheist so religion is more or less meaningless to me but this story really isn’t about religion, it’s about being human. The old guy may be convinced it’s his god giving him a message, but whatever validation or justification he uses to accept his actions, he recognized as a human living in a group of other humans that something he did in the past was wrong and he’s trying to fix it. That’s what we do. Even among all the bad things humans do to each other, we still, at the core, yearn to be part of a group helping each other survive, cope and even prosper.

Thanks again.
