What does religion taste like, smell like, feel like?
"Every religion contains, in varying degrees, elements of the soft and the hard. For the sake of world peace, dialogue within religions and among them must strengthen the softer aspects," said Johan Galtung, mathematician and sociologist, and considered one of the founders of peace and conflict studies. January 16th is Religious Freedom Day in the United States, but is significant across the globe, as violence and occupation in the name of religion, profiling of individuals based on religious background, and fear of the religious 'other' overshadows the main tenants of these very religions. To mark this day, TakingITGlobal is holding a poetry contest, asking the question, what does religion taste like, smell like, feel like? The winner will receive a gift certificate from Amazon!
