Every person in the world is by nature a slave to sin. The world, by nature, is held in sin's grip. What a shock to our complacency- that everything of us by nature belongs to sin.

We are its servants.

RajneeshWhen people say to me, 'You hate America,' I don't hate America. I love America.

And to do that, one needs distance.
