It's true that religion often divides and pits one group against another. <br />The comments by TheREadersTales said some pretty interesting things about seeing behind the scenes, what the tourists don't see. It could be pretty on the outside but it's what people don't see, that makes a country great or not great.

I haven't really thought about this land until I read recently that it was one of the richest countries in the world. But, those things don't matter to me (I choose to live in Greece, when I could be living in my native Canada). Of course, one cannot have it all. <br /><br />Thank you for this informative post on Singapore.<br /><brPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-81269792043805245412017-04-13T00:38:27.111+03:002017-04-13T00:38:27.111+03:00Unfortunately, religion is the "root of evil&...Unfortunately, religion is the "root of evil" in many places on the globe.

In this case, it's hard to understand why religious leaders feel the need to find fault with others when they should be doing the opposite.

It would be a long comment to explain. When one lives there, one sees behind the scenes. I was very quickly disappointed. I would say a place without a soul. With many hidden sad things that tourists never get to know... That said, I have a family member who love living there... hahaha... <br />Have The Reader's Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701126931175725145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-90476618645218175772017-04-10T18:58:00.534+03:002017-04-10T18:58:00.534+03:00I know what you mean.
