Christianity gets a bad rap these days because so many modern Christians are insane, but this reminds me of Corinthians 13:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I think there are truths that transcend all religion, and this is one of them.
The temple gang sounds awesome! Glad it has given you so much spiritual foundation.
